The Mountain Bluebird Trails Conservation Society (MBTCS) has been active for over thirty years and was started by the late Duncan Mackintosh. Members have been successful in studying, conserving and helping restore the natural range of the Mountain Bluebird in southern Alberta. With countless volunteer hours, thousands of bluebirds have been banded and tracked. Thousands of bluebird boxes or houses have been constructed and put up for homes for nesting bluebirds. These bluebird boxes have been erected in groups called “trails”, and range within Alberta from the BC border to the Saskatchewan border and in the north from Nanton all the way to the U.S. border. Some trails of the MBTCS have even become a part of a unique event, the Trans-Continental Bluebird Trail.

Probably one of the nicest Birds in Alberta... the blue colors are something else. They be a very trusting bird. Makes my day when I can get some nice shots of them..
I took an interest in wildlife in Alberta when I was very young. One foot in grave now and my life is so enriched by them..
