re: What kind of bird is this.

Don't they eat mosquitoes like purple Martin's? If so, nice to have around.

Mosquitoes and flies .... they're relentless.

This is a farm with chickens, pigs and cattle ... we've got every kind of wild bird imaginable, native to the area, including a breeding pair of eagles on the big fish pond, but the blue birds have the most personalty by far except for maybe the hummingbirds.

Blue birds have family units. They're very territorial. They return to nest in their same houses every year.
