The Western Bluebird is as common and familiar in its range as the
common Bluebird is in the east. It nests in similar locations and its
eggs are scarcely distinguishable, although averaging a trifle darker in
shade; size .80 × .60.
767a. CHESTNUT-BACKED BLUEBIRD. _Sialia mexicana bairdi._
Range.--Rocky Mountain region from Mexico to Wyoming.
The nesting habits or eggs of this brighter colored bird do not differ
from those of the last species.
767b. SAN PEDRO BLUEBIRD. _Sialia mexicana anabelæ._
Range.--San Pedro Martir Mountains in Lower California.
The eggs of this variety will not in all probability be any different
from those of the preceding Bluebirds.
768. MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD. _Sialia currucoides._
Range.--Rocky Mountain region, breeding from New Mexico north to Great
Slave Lake; winters in southwestern United States and Mexico.
This azure blue species is common in the greater part of its range and
is found west to the Sierra Nevadas in California. Like the eastern
Bluebird they nest in holes in trees or anywhere that they can find a
suitable cavity or crevice. Their eggs are slightly larger than those of
the other Bluebirds and have a slight greenish tint; size .85 × .64.
