Bluebirds are all along the roadsides this morning--a windless, warm, October day. They are gathered socially in companies of half a dozen or more and keep near together like a big family, one bird following another when it flies. They are quietly musical as they flit about, giving the gentle whit call, the softer chatter, the velvety turwy , and sometimes a phrase of song. (Quote by - A.C. Bent )

Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and Spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of nature, if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you, know tha. (Quote by - Henry David Thoreau)

If you don't like someone's idea of a nestbox or want to challenge what they are reporting as working for them then build another 50 or 100 nestboxes and do your own controlled experiment. The bluebirds and other cavity nesters can only benefit from more widespread experimentation and observations. (Quote by - Keith Kridler)

That bluebirds currently nest in all of Pennsylvania's 67 counties is directly related to the interest Pennsylvanians have shown toward bluebird conservation and doing something more for wildlife in their yards over the past 50 years. But we should not consider the bluebird's comeback a done deal, because their existence seems destined to hinge on the continued involvement of people who care about the species. If people stop putting out nest boxes for bluebirds, there undoubtedly will be serious repercussions. (Quote by - Dan Brauning)

More birds have adapted to a changing world than have failed. Very few have the narrow tolerance of the ivory-billed woodpecker or the Bachman's warbler. (Quote by - Roger Tory Peterson)

The soft mellow warble of the bluebird, heard at its best throughout spring and early summer, is one of the sweetest, most confiding and loving sounds in nature. (Quote by - Thomas Roberts)

Just because a HOSP has wings doesn't make it an angel. (Quote by - John Schuster)

The English Sparrow among birds, like the rat among mammals, is cunning, destructive and filthy. (Quote by - Birds of America)

All solutions to HOSP control have drawbacks, but not controlling them at all has the greatest drawback. (Quote by - Cherie Layton)

Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long(Quote by - Irving Berlin)

We can, and should, try new things, but incorporate some of the knowledge we have already, so we don't make things worse. (Quote by - Kate Arnold)

At some point, my "bluebird" trails ceased to be bluebird trails per se, and just became "nestbox trails"-with lots of different houses, and lots of different species. (Quote by - Jim Walters)

As the pressure of population increasingly regiments us and crowds us closer together, an association with the wild, winged freedom of the birds will fill an ever growing need in our lives. (Quote by - Edwin Way Teale)

May I never get so jaded That the thrill of joy has faded In response to velvet warbles And discovering blue pearls. (Quote by - Bet Zimmerman)

You haven't seen anything until a whole flock of vibrant blue birds breaks up the brown of a winter landscape. (Quote by - David Gwin)

The bluebird is well named, for he wears a coat of the purest, richest, and most gorgeous blue on back, wings, and tail; no North American bird better deserves the name, for no other flashes before our admiring eyes so much brilliant blue. (Quote by - Arthur C. Bent)

It never ceases to amaze me how tiny they are when they first come out of the egg and that something so small will be soaring in the sky in a month. (Quote by - Anna in Tampa)

Every time I see a bluebird, I say, well, hey, all this hard work is all worth while."(Quote by - Ray Briggs)

As might be expected of creatures so heavenly in color, the disposition of bluebirds is particularly angelic. Gentleness and amiability are expressed in their soft musical voice. Tru-al-ly, tru-al-ly, they sweetly assert when we can scarcely believe that spring is here; tru-wee, tur-wee they softly call in autumn when they go roaming through the countryside in flocks of azure. (Quote by - Neltje Blanchan)

When you see a bluebird, it just takes your breath away. (Quote by - Barbara Clark of Bickleton)

I don't know any Bluebird hosts who enjoy killing anything, including HOSP, but the two species are on a head on collision course and there is so much proof that the HOSP will win (and by that I mean kill) your Bluebirds eventually. (Quote by - Dave Kineer)

The story of the bluebird's trials is a poignant one, beautiful enough to make you weep. (Quote by - Andre Dion)

The lake lay blue beneath the hill. O'er it, as I looked, there flew across the waters, cold and Still, a bird whose wings were palest blue. The sky above was blue at last, the sky beneath me blue in blue. A moment ere the bird had passed, it caught the image as he flew. (Quote by - C.V. Stanford)

The Bluebird is a Cut Above all others. He seeks nothing in return for his superior being. For his unique color and personality he ask not for special favors. He appreciates your admiration and thanks you for your help. The fact, that in his world, you cared for him is the only fact that mattered. (Quote by - Wendell Long)

Monitoring is the very heart of the bluebirding experience.... It is only this kind of human intervention which will cause bluebirds to survive in an increasingly competitive natural world. (Quote by - Dean Sheldon)
