Abstract:
North Carolina offers some excellent places to bird watch, and the opportunity to participate in bird-count studies with local chapters of the National Audubon Society. Birders are particularly interested in sightings of bluebirds, whose population has drastically reduced due to competition from starlings and house sparrows. This article discusses bird watching and how to find bluebird populations in North Carolina.

Abstract:
Bluebirds are year-round residents of North Carolina. In recent years the species has been in decline because of pesticide use, dwindling habitats, and competition from aggressive non-native species. Conservationists say the best hope for the bird's comeback is wide-spread placement of nest boxes. In 1973, Jack Finch founded Homes for Bluebirds, a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring the bluebird's habitat. The organization has built and sold tens of thousands of boxes in North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Florida. One worker, Desma Perry, has built 70,000 boxes in the past twenty-five years.

Abstract:
Thinking like one included creating a conducive environment, which included providing nesting boxes and a favorable habitat. Providing a conducive environment may help to assure the survival of this bird, who was on the brink of extinction from the late 1930s to early 1970s.
