Our mission is to preserve and protect the Western Bluebird and other cavity nesters in Southern CA. Our goal is to provide a communication forum for active bluebirders in Southern California and to introduce new members to the joys of creating and monitoring nest box trails.
Join us. We welcome you to this exciting cause and promise the fellowship, camaraderie, and commitment to this cause will fulfill you beyond anything you have ever experienced. It’s just plain fun! We meet monthly on the first Saturday at 9 a.m. All are welcome to attend and we always have donuts and coffee available for guests.

My property in Tuolumne county has had fair susses this year with about half my boxes going unused the heavy rainfall didn’t seam to help, egg clutches seemed smaller.
How do I buy a bluebird house to hang in my garden or do plans exist and maybe my husband could make a house.
Thank you,
Kathy
I just read the article about my nephew William Cox building bluebird boxes for your organization. So proud of him! We are also avid bluebird fans here in Covington, GA. We made two boxes at the Charlie Elliot Wildlife Preserve but sadly one box is no longer useable. My son who is 9 and I would love to build another one or two. Can you send us the plans to do so?

which month do the blue birds start building there nest, can’t wait to see them in my yard.
thanks.
The bluebirds will start picking sites and building nests in early April, sometimes earlier. They frequently nest twice a summer here in Socal. Check out the links, Sialis and others to learn all you’ll need about bluebirds.
Blue birds have not yet made a nest in the box I hung for them, impatiently waiting.
