The Official Nevada State Bird

Mountain Bluebird

The Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides) is a medium-sized, mainly insectivorous songbird that is native to North America. As the official Nevada state bird, the Mountain Bluebird has been a symbol of the state since 1967, and can be found in open areas throughout the state. The Mountain Bluebird is known for its bright blue wings, tail, and head, and its light sandy-brown chest. It is a sociable bird, often seen in small groups, and is a frequent visitor to open grasslands and agricultural fields.

The Mountain Bluebird is an important part of Nevada's natural heritage and has been part of the state's history for centuries. The Paiute tribe has for centuries used the feathers of the Mountain Bluebird in their traditional dress, and the bird has also been an important source of food for the tribe. The Mountain Bluebird also holds a special place in the hearts and minds of many Nevadans, and has been a symbol of freedom and hope in the state. The Nevada state flag even depicts the Mountain Bluebird perched atop a sagebrush sprig. The Mountain Bluebird's beauty and importance to the state of Nevada make it a fitting symbol for the state.
