Bluebird advocate John Davidson helps restore local nesters
John Davidson, known as The Bluebird Man, builds snake proof houses, ties a lifelong effort to revive bluebirds in Montgomery County. He sells simple wooden houses, writes and lectures on attracting blues, and remains active at 82, balancing dance and crafts while fearing chickadees and sparrows outcompete bluebirds. Almanac notes nearby garden clubs support nesting sites as community groups join this conservation push.
