Bluebirds Forever

Connie Toops

This books blends valuable information, the most visually appealing drawing for nest boxes (each with information on how to purchase plans from the box designers) with a large colorful format and some anecdotes from several bluebird trails. It is a ‘how-to’ book with some natural history that is easily read.

From the publisher: ”In Bluebirds Forever, through extraordinary photos and comprehensive text, Toops pays homage to the bird that “carries the sky on his back” (Henry David Thoreau). The text explores the migratory, mating and nesting habits of eastern, mountain and western bluebird species. Toops unravels the birds’ mysterious decline and explains how to entice bluebirds to your backyard. A special supplement contains bluebird house plans and lists bluebird organizations.”
