Summary

Learn to attract and feed Eastern, Western, and Mountain Bluebirds with this pocket-sized guide. The Eastern Bluebird's blend of sky blue and rusty orange is a happy sprinkle of color in any backyard or garden. Easily tamed and full of personality, bluebirds are like welcomed friends. You love these beloved birds, and you want to see them visiting your yard or garden. Professional naturalist and award-winning author Stan Tekiela teaches you all that you need to know about bluebirds. The handy book is divided into three main sections. First, you'll learn all about bluebirds: facts, range, habitat, songs, nests, and more. Up next, you'll be introduced to the mealworms and other foods-such as fruits, seeds, and legumes-that keep bluebirds coming back. In the third section, Stan tells you which feeders bluebirds prefer and why. You'll also be given information on placing feeders, cleaning feeders, and protecting bluebirds. Find out how to make your yard into a habitat that bluebirds will love. Then enjoy Stan's bluebird photography, trivia, and quick tips. This is truly your guide to attracting and feeding bluebirds!
