winterthur wonder
Much of the Eastern Bluebird’s nesting habitat had been lost to agriculture and development by the mid-1900s but this vibrant blue and chestnut bird has made a remarkable comeback thanks to man-made nesting boxes. Leading the way in Delaware is Winterthur Museum & Country Estate near Wilmington where many bluebird boxes dot the thousand-acre landscape. Competition is tough between species as bluebirds, tree swallows and starlings all try to claim the perfect nesting spots.

Hi,
my name is Angela Fiori and I love your picture. I am writing to you because I am a painter and I was wondering if I could make a painting of your blue bird. I will be showing my work at NOS in the spring.
Let me know if this would be possible. It will be oil on canvas but I haven’t decided how big it will be yet.
Thanks!
