It’s All About Bluebirds in March
Dear Friend of Nature,
If you are reading this flyer, then it’s a pretty good bet you are already a person who loves birds and nature. Odds are that your excitement for nature was first awakened by an experience as a youth.
For many, it was discovering and watching a nesting bird in the yard. There is magic in seeing an egg hatch, watching a mother tirelessly feeding her young and witnessing brave chicks leaving their nest for the first time. It all makes for powerful impressions on young minds - impressions that will never be forgotten.
March is a great month to share your love of nature with young children while also helping the next generation of birds. Nest boxes are a good place to start.
Properly designed boxes, placed in the appropriate habitat, can truly benefit the birds and also provide a focal point for children to learn about nature. Kids can help install the boxes and monitor all of the nesting activity throughout the season. If the birds cooperate and nest in your yard, then the fun has just begun.
Visit us soon. We’ll make sure you have all of the proper housing and foods to inspire the next generation’s love of nature, while helping the nesting birds in your yard thrive and survive.
Happy Birding!
Jan and Bob Ross

Tips for Attracting Eastern Bluebirds
By Patrick Ready
Location, Location, Location
- Need a territorial forage area of 1-3 acres of predominately open habitat.
- Ideal sites: short, sparse grass with interspersed trees.
- Boxes should be totally exposed to sunlight.
- Perch sites: trees, fences, electrical wires, clothes lines.
- Roadways with limited traffic.
- Spaced no closer than 100 yards apart.
- Do not put boxes on wooden fence or electrical posts.
Relocation: change the nest box position if there have been no bluebird nesting attempts in a season.
Box Style/Dimensions: Shallow, narrow boxes work best: 4-5” below the bottom of the hole as maximum depth, with 4x4”- 4x5” nesting platform inside. Hole dimension 1.5”.
Direction of Opening: Face opening away from prevailing westerly winds. Try to use the same direction for all boxes. Cornell University has determined that directing the opening of a nest box to the southeast works best.
Food: Mealworms, mealworms, mealworms! Bark Butter Bits! Bark Butter! Bug Nut & Berry Cylinders!
