Many thanks to all of you for your year end report.  We once
again had a phenomenal year with 2,549 baby blues fledged in
Danville and Pittsylvania Co.  Our bluebirds are really staging
a comeback because of the many conscientious bluebird
landlords.  We have made it our goal not to let a single
sparrow nest in our boxes and only keep and count our native
birds that use the bluebird houses. Keeping our bluebirds safe
by using predator guards also helps our feathered friends.


I have sent in the totals to Charlie Chambers at Virginia
Bluebird Society, and we will be in the statewide Virginia
count.  Totals on the 555 bluebird houses that reported in to
me this year are:

Bluebirds:
Nest Attempts - 678
Eggs - 2938
Hatched - 2629
Fledged - 2549

Total Birds Fledged from our boxes. . . 3123

It is time to renew your membership to Virginia Bluebird
Society.  I am so impressed with how VBS uses each dollar
wisely to promote and house our bluebirds.  If you have
never joined, please consider to join up today.  A gift
membership would be a great gift for a bluebird buddy and
help out our bluebirds as well.

May all your blues be birds!
