Blues Bring Good Cheer

Eastern Bluebirds do really bring good cheer.  I know of many people who relish sighting these thrushes.  It is a simple matter of putting up a nest box in the appropriate place, and you soon have nesting birds.  Bluebirds like open woodlands or edges where an open field adjoins a forested parcel.  They sing chur-lee or cheer-lee.  I hear them every morning now—bringing me good cheer.
