The Bird Banding Laboratory records indicate that 256,453 Eastern Bluebirds were banded in 1955-1990, with the smallest number, 1,062, being banded in 1960 and the largest number, 24,780, being banded in 1990 (Figure 1).
Many of these records are from the years 1931-1940 (Figure 4) when, even though the shooting of bluebirds may have been illegal, the regulations were not rigidly enforced in many areas, and most shooters were probably not reluctant to be truthful.
Of 51 bluebirds found dead in the nest, 8 were identified as females and 8 as males; the sex of the others was not recorded.

 Attracting Bluebirds
Bluebirds feed primarily on insects, crickets, spiders and beetles in the spring and summer.
Bluebirds are cavity nesting birds meaning they naturally nest in a hollowed-out area in a dead or dying tree.
Bluebird losses can be limited by avoiding the placement of nest boxes underneath perches such as high line wires or in known raptor nesting areas.

 NPWRC :: Attracting Bluebirds and Other Cavity Nesting Songbirds in North Dakota
Some of the earliest records of bluebird conservation came from the journals of Henry David Thoreau, naturalist and writer born in 1817.
Thoreau's writings mention eastern bluebirds returning to their boxes, giving evidence that people were already providing nest boxes in the early 1800's, possibly even in the 1700's.
Eastern bluebirds seem to have been common at this point in time and somewhat stable until the introduction of two bird species from Europe the house sparrow in 1850 and the starling in 1890.

Bluebird redefine the freejazz-in-rock thing by throwing the noodling out the window and actually having a capacity for working off of one another to build effective riffs and crescendos which bear some similarities to Drive Like Jehu's patchwork guitar strata.
The album was recorded in the band's rehearsal space in a series of open-ended "jams" with such guest musicians as Josh Hughes and Andrew Rothbard (Pleasure Forever), Dave Catching (QOTSA/Earthlings?), Mattias Shneeberger (Earthlings?) and J. Yuenger (White Zombie).

Bluebird trails have been established in many areas and are monitored by volunteers to maximize nesting success and record data on nesting box usage and the results of nesting attempts by both bluebirds and other species.
Over the years, bluebird trails have played a major role in bringing bluebird populations back after they had been decreasing for many years.

 THE WORLD LAND SPEED RECORD STORY AND THE ELECTRIC BLUEBIRD LAND SPEED RECORD PROJECT HISTORY
On February 4, 1927 Campbell drove the Napier-Campbell Bluebird to 174.883 mph (281.447 kph) on the beach at Pendine Sands.
The new Bluebird had a tail fin for additional stability and a modified oxygen system which had been held responsible for causing the crash by allowing the driver to become light headed Eventually after a plague of technical and weather problems the car recorded a speed of 403.10mph.
Although the first land speed record was set by an electric vehicle, electricity as a power source for transport, has not seen the development needed to keep pace with the requirements of modern living, this despite the fact we need clean transport more than ever.

 Bluebird brings out the blues on CD - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Bluebird Records is best known for being the label of jazz artists including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw.
Lesser known is that Bluebird also put out blues records between the 1920s and 1950s.
According to Colin Escott, one of the collection's co-producers and the author of books on Hank Williams, Sun Records and "Roadkill on the Three-Chord Highway: Art and Trash in American Popular Music," the blues essentially were "the neighborhood music of fl Americans," he says.

 RCA Victor Records
Some U.S. record firms like Brunswick and Columbia were acquired by the American Record Corporation, an amalgamation of the Cameo, Pathé, Plaza and Emerson firms which gradually became Victor's only competitor until the late-1934 start of Decca.
The Bluebirds proved popular, with close to 250 records being issued in the B4900 series and its successors (the numbers jumped to 4700 with French-Canadian material given its own 4800 series; this oddly enough conflicts with an Irish series in the U.S., which could be the "Fiddle" tunes issued under English names)!
In prefixes, 10 to 19 indicated Red Seal records, 20 to 29 fl-label popular, country, race or ethnic records, 30 to 39 Bluebird records, 40 to 49 various special issues and later, 45s, and 50 (or at least 55) to 59 Canadian records.

 Jazz News: Bluebird Records Continues Its Critically Acclaimed Centennial Collection Series
Bluebird’s latest round of Centennial Collections, set for August 24 release, spotlights the careers of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Coleman Hawkins and Artie Shaw—all elders of jazz who moved the genre forward with their imaginative music.
Cornetist/trumpeter James “Bubber” Miley is featured on two well-known tunes recorded in 1927 that he co-composed with the leader: “Black and Tan Fantasy” and “East St. Louis Toodle-o,” the latter having served as the Ellington band radio theme until 1940.
Sudhalter notes that the live recordings are a real bonus: “However good the Shaw band sounded on its records—and given its leader's perfectionism, that was very good—the fact remains that commercial dates were recorded early in the day, and in the tight, calcified acoustics of a recording studio.

 CD Review of Bebo & Cigala - Lagrimas Negras on Calle 54 Records / Bluebird @ jazzreview.com
Bebo recorded the first Cuban Jazz jam session in 1952, and Cigala is widely respected as the first, in a long time, to create a new path in Flamenco singing by respecting the historical with a nod to the future.
To an equal extent Cigala’s piano lines are so melodic that Bebo can, at times, relax and allow his tones to color the flowing phrase shapes harmonically and not always feel dependently responsible for the melody.
There’s a reason this recording, when originally released last year in Spain, was nominated for five Latin Grammy awards - every track is excellent.

However, Berton's description of the lonely saxophonist's voice ("blowing always, usually a single phrase over and over, smoothing out a sequence of triplets, superimposing a crescendo, riding the pulse of a non-existent rhythm section?) clued the jazz world in to where Rollins was hiding out.
Soon after, Rollins returned to the clubs and, with a new recording contract from RCA Victor, entered the studio for the first time in three years to record a masterpiece.
Yet, while the jazz tale is a great one, the proof of the recording's brilliance is in its performance.
