Hi Harry:
Your story reminds me that I need to do some cleaning out of my blue bird house. Nice story.
I think that birds sometimes understand. several years ago, we had a white dove which would come into our back yard to get water. It was very shy…

Harry, thanks for your post. I sometimes forget that not everyone has Bluebirds yearround and forget how special spotting one can be to someone who has lived the winter without them! Good luck on many successful broods this season and can't wait for…
I had a male bluebird arrive early as February 23rd and now I have a pair of bluebirds today March 4, 2009. Both are going in and out of the nest box and really giving it a close inspection. Both looked very healthy and looked to be mature birds. I…

The Bluebirds are Back
I had a male bluebird arrive early as February 23rd and now I have a pair of bluebirds today March 4, 2009. Both are going in and out of the nest box and really giving it a close inspection. Both looked very healthy and looked to be mature birds. I noticed the male was pecking at the top side of the next box at the roof area. I just then remembered the duct tape is still over the ¼ inch vent area at the top of the roof and sides. The male was actually trying to removing it. I got my coat on and… Continue

My Daughter, Son in-Law and Grandson resides in Indian Trails NC. which is not far from Matthews. Also I have a close friend and his wife and child that live on County Line Road, Stanfield NC. I am a friend and a fan of Carol Buie-Jackson's Website < smell like dirt> I plan on visiting her some day whe… Continue

Gil Burnette said… - Harry, I would like to invite you to participate in the planting of longleaf pine trees as outlined under the events calendar dated February 13, 2010. This is a Saturday outing and will involve a drive to Southern Pines, NC located in the Sandhills of NC. There will be a similar opportunity on the following two Saturdays Feb 20 and Feb 27. I am working to help organize as large of a turn-out as possible. This event is being sponsored by The Nature Conservancy of North Carolina and will give all participants a first hand look at the longleaf pine ecosystem and an opportunity to offset part of our carbon footprint. You can call me at (980) 875-8900 for more details.

- Harry, AWESOME JOB! at the HAWK meeting last night. You promised a fun and entertaining presentation and boy, did you deliver! I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in NC and I'll see if I can get you some more opportunities to give your presentation when you are down visiting again. Safe travels home to PA and thanks again for a wonderful presentation!

- Harry, my five bluebird babies fledged today, now I have a pair of brown-headed nuthatch's checking out the bluebird box. I have never seen this before. The male bluebird keeps coming back and checking the box, but I have not seen the female. The business idea about the birdscapes for bluebirds hasn't really taken off. I did install one for my sister and within a week she had a pair building a nest.

Ernie McLaney said… - Harry, good to have you join us. I agree that Bluebirds are quite special and that we should all encourage them to visit and raise young in our properties. It's always a great feeling when I see multiple young raised in boxes I monitor. A very special bird!
