    About this ebook

    Watching a baby bird take its first very shaky flight is a joyous delight. Every
    year, a pair of mama and daddy eastern bluebirds would make their home in our
    backyard. This story relates the process of their selection of a homesite and
    then the building of their nest in which to raise the family. Also, it illustrates the
    dedication of mama and daddy bluebird in the caring and feeding of their babies
    and the supervising of their teaching them to fly. It was evident that these easternbluebird parents were steadfast in their encouragement of these baby birds tobecome independent in their search for food as well as in their becoming mature,adult birds. Please enjoy the beautiful backyard where Pokie grew up, my secondbook about the wonderful wildlife found in nature.
