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!

Yes, the Eastern Bluebird you see here, along with the Mountain Bluebird and the Western Bluebird charms people everywhere. Many don’t see bluebirds where they live. As a monitor, my goal is to educate others on the bluebirds here in Virginia and what we can do to help them nest and fledge their young successfully. They are to be cherished, as they do need human intervention. Thanks for the comment! They are beautiful in so many ways. Will the artist of this wonderful piece please contact me so that I can credit you? I have no idea how I got this picture, but it’s so lovely.
