Bluebird Country

Bluebird Country by Earl Plato
Where do I go to see one of my favourite birds, the
Eastern bluebird? I could dive to Beaver Meadows south of Buffalo, N.Y. I could go west to Wainfleet near the lake where I have seen as many as ten at a time. Look at Wendy Booth’s photo below. When Elaine and I go to church in Sherkston we sometime drive to he Beach cemetery. Elaine’s relatives are buried there. Someday we will be too. Near the end of the drive going in is a bluebird box erected by Rob Eberly of Ridgeway. There often perched on a fence post this past spring were a pair of bluebirds. This is the nearest and best place to see these birds. What’s your favourite location?
Ever hear a bluebird call when flying? As they flit around the Beach cemetery grounds e hear a liquid and musical “queedle” sound. Those who have heard it know what I mean. It is an unmistakable bluebird signature.
Audubon guide says, “ Its song is a soft melodious warble.”
