Not many years ago the Bluebird was as familiar as he was welcome about
our homes; but too gentle to battle effectively with English Sparrows
and Starlings for the possession of bird houses, he has sought such
nesting sites in the orchard as the 'tree surgeons' have left. If we
would not lose this bird, "beloved of children, bards and spring," who
wears our national colors so modestly, we must supply him with a home in
which he may rear his family in peace. It may be placed not only in our
garden, but also in the orchard where it is less likely to be occupied
by Sparrows or Starlings. It should be erected not later than March 15,
for the Bluebird's bluish white eggs are laid in the first half of
April.
