Susan, the eastern bluebird is no longer on the endangered list.
I live in Prince William County, Northern VA.county is trying to take our land & home through eminent domain to build a 4 mile 4 lane road through our property. We have many eastern bluebirds that visit our backyard. Are they still on endangered list? Can we stop county from taking the land away? We back onto a flood project, county park & another county's Bull Run Creek & naturalist park. Let me know if there is anything that we could bring up about the eastern bluebirds. Thanks.
Hi Suzanne! The Audubon Society has great information on building a nest box for bluebirds: https://www.audubon.org/news/how-build-bluebird-nest-box
You could also check out our Filed Guide on eastern bluebirds: https://www.chesapeakebay.net/discover/field-guide/entry/eastern_bluebird
Good luck!
I would like to make a nesting box for bluebirds and I would like more information on how to attract them
I was very excited to see the Chesapeake Bay Program address the bluebirds. Thank you. Education is key, bluebird monitoring opportunities are all around us. There are many volunteers across the country for the North American Bluebird Society, I hope some of your readers take a moment and learn more at their website. http://www.nabluebirdsociety.org/
