Mountain Bluebirds at Hope Airport

[tmanson]

Hi Fraser Valley Birders: There were two Mountain Bluebirds at Jack Delair's organic farm today by the Hope Airport. I don't know how these compare with the arrival dates of the birds in Kathy's area, but it would be interesting to compare. Cheers, Thor

hello thor
the mountain bluebirds are right on time. they are usually seen around the fraser valley area from the first week of march to the last week of march, at least that is when i have seen them. i will have to come up there and check out jack delair's farm; it sounds like a very birdy place. phone or email me and let me know where exactly his farm is. i have been looking for bluebirds for the past week or so with no luck around chilliwack, so i would like to come up and see them. keep us posted if they hang around.
thanks thor.

Hi FV Birders

Another striking male Mountain Bluebird on Airport Road today at 1130 am. Very obligingly using the metal Airport fence outside our house to hunt in the grass!
