This is the kind of short, seasonal note I send — timed to your region, never more than a few a year.

🐦 Bluebird season is about to start — time to prep the box

Hi there,

Bluebirds start scouting nest sites in early March across your region. A few minutes now makes all the difference for a successful first brood:

1

Clean out the box. Open the side panel, clear last year's material, scrub with a 1:9 vinegar-water mix and let it dry.

2

Check the mount & baffle. Confirm the pole is steady and the predator baffle still wobbles freely.

3

Offer mealworms. A small dish of dried mealworms nearby helps a pair settle in.

This week in your region

First arrivals reported nearby. Boxes should be up and clean by March 15 for the best chance at an early brood.

Happy birding,
