omen by art briggsjude when the early settlers came to this land they cleared the forest growth creating fields and openings for their crops and livestock while some forms of wildlife were pushed back and disappeared others actually increased because of this change in landscape most noticeable to the pioneers were the softvoiced birds that built their nests in the hollows of their rail fences or in the cavities of their homestead trees this early spring migrant with the sky- blue wings and the earthtoned breast soon became known as their harbinger of spring after enduring a long cold winter with unbe lievable hardships the sight of the first bluebirds in march gave these struggling settlers new hope that spring with its milder weather was at last on the way yet this relationship was not limited to the birds arrival as a good omen for the bluebird often became a neighbour at the well a chorister along the lane and an ally in their garden even with little time to spare from the never ending toils required to survive the pioneers and the farmers that followed were familiar with this trusting bird poets scribes and composers were inspired by its plaintive notes and pleasant disposition artists strived to match its soft color tones however after a hundred and fifty years or so of coexistence and bluebird began to fade from cur midst competition from imported house sparrows and starlings for nesting cavities toxic sprays of the now banned ddt type ultra clean farm and wood- lot practices and the loss of habitat due to urban spread have removed this traditional harbinger of spring from all too many areas fortunately there is hope and a way to help them come back nestboxes when placed on fenceposts in open farmland once again provide bluebirds with their lost nesting cavities here at bluebird acres surrounded by the old farmstead landscape we have another successful example of this nestbox program me mall saturday march 21 1000 am300 pm sponsored by
