04/06/2008: "More Bluebirds Released In San Juan County"

(Pair Of Bluebirds In Transport To San Juan Island)

In March of 2007 four pairs of bluebirds were released on San Juan Island as part of a program to reintroduce Bluebirds to San Juan County. Three months later three baby Blue Birds were born, and while there were sporadic sightings, all sightings came to an end after the annual migration season started. So far they have not returned, or if they have. they have yet to be spotted.

On Friday and Saturday, additional pairs of the birds were released from small aviaries on San Juan Island as part of the ongoing program.

Please let SJ Audubon know if you see any groups of bluebirds in the San Juans or adjacent counties. Call San Juan Islands Audubon, Barbara Jensen, 360-378-308 or San Juan Preservation Trust, Kathleen Foley, 360-378-2461.
