Hello,
ReplyDeleteMy organization is planning to reintroduce breeding pairs of Western Bluebirds to Salt Spring Island, BC, in the spring of 2010. As part of the training program for our volunteer Bluebird Stewards we would like them to learn the differences between the bluebird species. Would you consider allowing us to use two photos as part of our presentation, please?
