Re: bluebirds

Thanks Pam, I followed all the suggestions on the bluebird web site... like
only so high .... on a fence away from trees... away for the prevailing
winds...  and placed them 100 yards  apart...  I have been told that I need
to just be patient and keep them cleaned out.  A master gardener has them on
the other side of town out in a subdivision with lot of cedar trees around.
I guess they just have to find me.
Patricia
