Did you know that the bluebird is NY’s state bird? -Yes, and see what they are eating!!
Some years ago local officials, the local college and conservation commission led efforts to install hundreds of bluebird boxes on local public land and that did the trick. They’ve made a huge comeback.
Did you know that the bluebird is NY’s state bird? Plus the chickadees that took over the bluebird house are MA’s state bird. But I don’t consider that a conflict. ;-)
So........What made the huge comeback?...The boxes, or the birds?
