Email messages from Brian to J.J. Cardinal's - Subj: Bluebird pics   Date: 4/26/02    Hi Louise, I can't get over how well my Bluebirds are doing...I really enjoy reading The Bluebird Monitor's Guide. I'm about half of the way through the book and I'm learning all kinds of new things. My Bluebird Monitor Feeder is a big hit in only its second day. The Bluebirds were constantly at it getting first the live and roasted mealworms and then the bluebird food that I bought from you. The Bluebirds seem to like the roasted mealworms almost as much as the live ones. Brian

perfect terrain for bluebirds

  

Brian's got eggs!

 ...and more mouths to feed.
right: wide open spaces are ideal for bluebirds. center: Brian carefully checked his nesting box and found these eggs. right: hungry babies await feeding. [note: we're delighted at J.J.'s that Brian was so kind to share his story and photos of his initial attempt to attract bluebirds. His attractive property is ideal for bluebirds! Many thanks, Brian]
