Blue Birds of Happiness

Those beautiful bluebirds are back in the park and happy to report 5 eggs have been seen in the house next to the Park Headquarters.

Fred and Mary Craig, who came to park last week to talk about Bluebirds, are members of braw.org and briceprairieconservation.org. They are doing great work tracking the success stories of bluebirds and are monitoring the boxes in Perrot.

The Eastern Bluebird (sialia sialis) a fine singer is also related to the American Robin and Mountain Bluebird. These two other thrush song birds are visitors to the park or should I say it's their home and we are the visitors.

  1. These are probably my favorite of all birds. I saw one in our yard yesterday but only got a glimpse of it.

  2. You shared your last home with bluebirds. I hope they like their new neighbors
