I'm glad that I made the choice to purchase this very good guide to bluebirds. I didn't know that much about bluebirds until I gleaned the very informative information in this book. If you have an interest in bluebirds and would like to attract them, then this book is for you. Bluebirds and Their Survival covers much ground: their prefered habitat, nest box choices, when and where to put the nest boxes out, feeding them, and potential predators. The book also tells you how to set up your own bluebird trail, how to photograph them, and also how to make different types of nesting structures. This guide has some very good photographs throughout too. The text is also easy to read. The author talks about some other guests that you may attract to your bluebird house or houses. Everything from the house wren to the house sparrow. I can understand that some people may not want other species of birds to use a house intended for bluebirds, but I don't think it's morally right to kill house sparrows that choose to do so. Just because they aren't a native species and aren't protected by law doesn't justify cruel behavior like that. Other than that, I definitely recommend this book. Even if you just want to learn a little about the life history of these pretty birds and not offer them housing or food, this is still a very good book. It should be all you need to get you on your way. Recommended.
