"Eastern and Western Bluebirds are among America's most beautiful birds, and there is great public concern regarding their welfare. This book provides a non-technical account of these birds, with emphasis on establishing bluebird nest boxes and trails, and other ways in which these species can be attracted, information regarding pests and predators, and landscaping.... (It also provides) bluebird nest box plans, and names and addresses of bluebird organizations and suppliers.... Anyone interested in bluebirds will want a copy of this book. Highly recommended". Wildlife Activist
"Toops spotlights both the species' natural history and what certain private citizens are doing to ensure its future.... Color photos profusely illustrate the book, and because the bluebird is very pretty, make it quite spectacular. Toops and those she profiles deserve a round of applause for trying to save the no-longer-so-common bluebird". Booklist
