Bluebirds

I love Bluebirds. I'm not certain why. Perhaps it's because I am a native Missourian (our state bird is the Eastern Bluebird), or because they're so brightly colored. Then again, it may be because my dad loved them, and always wanted to attract them to his yard--with no success. If only he'd lived long enough to visit us here in SE OK. I have at least two nesting pair of Bluebirds in any given season and I love to watch them play in the bird bath.

Building Bluebird houses is a fun way to pass some time, and a good project with kids. My favorite house is one that I designed using a single cedar fence board for each house. Later, I'll post the details so you can make one too!
