Vickie's Bluebird Blog
I started this blog to post updates on Danville area bluebird gatherings and to share and hear bluebird stories.
Entry for October 1, 2007

As of the 1st of October we have had 1173 bluebird fledgling reported for  Pittsylvania  County.  This is our first year to send in a report to the Virginia Bluebird Society.  They are impressed with our numbers, but I know this is only a sampling of the real numbers of baby blues from our county.  I plan to close out the report in a couple of weeks.  You may call me at 434-822-0930 or e-mail me your results.  I need the number of boxes you have, the nest attempts, egg count , baby count and the number fledged.  Other birds that may have nested in your boxes can also be reported.  Chickadees, tree swallows, house wrens, titmice or nuthatches are some that have been reported so far.  Don't let your babies be left out of the annual count.

Does the house have a door so you can check to see if there is a nest? All houses need a door.
I already have baby bluebirds at my house!!! Could be they're getting competition for the nest box from House Sparrows???? If this is a possibility you need to dispose of the House Sparrows. Then your blues will build.

I wish we had more bluebirds in Washington.
We may move to NC is that a good place for bluebirds.
