I’ve only ever had the privilege of photographing bluebirds a few times and all were last winter at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area.  Bluebird populations have decreased so it is important to place nesting boxes in appropriate areas in order to help conserve local bird populations.  I was hopeful that I could attract bluebirds to our yard, but the area is too wooded.  Bluebirds like an open habitat, which is why you often see bluebird houses in open fields and rural countryside.  This one was mounted on a fence in a garden area at Burnside Plantation in Bethlehem, Pa.
