The bluebirds are a group of medium-sized, mostly insectivorous or omnivorous birds in the genus Sialia of the thrush family (Turdidae). Bluebirds are one of the few thrush genera in the Americas. They have blue, or blue and red, plumage. Female birds are less brightly colored than males, although color patterns are similar and there is no noticeable difference in size between sexes. Since bluebirds are cavity nesters, providing nest boxes is a great way to observe these beautiful birds. They are a colorful and fascinating bird to try to invite to nest in your backyard or your country acreage.

Author Karen Jean Matsko Hood has experience in working to make an environment that is friendly to bluebird habitation. In Bluebirds in Your Backyard: A Basic Guide, she provides fascinating information and facts about bluebirds, their habits, nesting, history, and folklore. Also included are instructions on how to build a bluebird nest box and attract bluebirds to nest in it. This book is an informative and wonderful way to become familiar with local bluebirds and how to attract them. Bluebirds in Your Backyard: A Basic Guide is a book you will enjoy having on your library shelf for reference, and it is a great gift for your family and friends.
