I am a novice, my only experience with birds in any way was being a
volunteer one summer for the Wildlife ARC (Animal Rehabilitation Center) in
Milwaukee, WI, feeding baby birds for eventual release when grown.

My question is, what are the 3 species of bluebird? Also, which species
habitats in Wisconsin and how would it differ from the Western Bluebirds?

Thanks Tweeters!
