Ahh, those Bluebirds — a BIG DISTRACTION…loving every minute of them. To me, the first sign of Spring is when I see the males around February 1st, and then those pretty daffodils!
Welcome back, Blues. “Mr. Bluebird on my Shoulder!”
Please read on below for the Bluebird Trail Update!
Hello--so good to see you here! Bluebirding is extremely rewarding (as I found out) I had no idea the joys of bluebirds until I saw my first nestbox with both parents feeding their little babies early Spring 2005. A few days later, much to my horror, those cute little bluebird nestlings didn't have a chance as I looked out my window at the nestbox and saw a black rat snake dangling out of the nestbox's entry hole with lumps in its body one afternoon; subsequently the second brood died on hatching day from excessive heat in a poorly ventilated nestbox. After that, I was bound and determined to get a proper nestbox installed for Spring 2006 that would bring success to these beautiful birds. Once I witnessed maiden flights (called fledging) of healthy baby bluebbirds, I became hooked on this worthy cause. This site brings you closer to my own bluebird trail. Come take a walk around here and see what's happening!
