"Bluebirds are small, bright blue songbirds, part of the thrush family, the same family as robins.
Bluebirds used to nest across southern Ontario. They used old woopecker holes in cedar posts. However, in the 50's and 60's they became endangered because farming practices changed. In 1972, the North American Bluebird Society encouraged people to put up bluebird boxes. Because of people putting up bluebird boxes, the population has increased to 60.000 in Ontario presently. They are now off the endangered species list."
This will be a busy area in the spring and summer as there are many bluebird houses on the west side of the road. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to see one.
