Cynthia,
Glad you like this photo. Those bluebirds keep me happy.
It would help if you sent me some details on your intended use.

Please send an email to laurakamms (at) gmail . com telling me how you’d like to publish/use the photo, who it’s for, and what the audience is?
I’m traveling this week, but will get back to you asap.
Thanks, Laura

[...] The story of Eastern Bluebirds nesting in our backyard box was a classic csae of “If you build it, they will come.” It was an intensely loving and intimate experience to host this pair of bluebirds. I [...]

Maybe it’s time we revisit that list, what with the new bluebird neighbors moving in and the green heron I keep seeing fly over. We may just top 40.

Dawn and Mike – thanks, this is SO VERY COOL for me. I didn’t expect a pair would nest this late, but then, I’ve been waiting for this to happen since I left our Spencer, NY farm in 2002~I’m out of practice on bluebird habits!

Speaking of a the irony of a suburban backyard having more birds: I know a birder who lives on a corner lot in a relatively new neighborhood with wide lawns and a few scattered mature trees. He has a yard list pushing 105! I’m jealous, of course, because my yard list is less than 35, if I had to guess. I’ve lost track.

Hope you get those bluebirds, Mike.

How very cool! And coincidental – we have boxes around our yard, but they’ve only been used by chickadees, House Wrens, Tree Swallows, and mice, even though bluebirds hang out 1/4 mile away in the more “suburban” yards (few trees, large expanses of mowed lawns). But as of last week we’ve had two (!) investigating one of the boxes. Not sure they’ll stay, but fingers are crossed . . . .

Nice photos of a beautiful bird!
-Mike
