Hi all,
   I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. We have 3 acres in Berea 
(southern Madison County). I had some questions for y'all. I have had bluebirds 
in my orchard a few times. I haven't seen them the last few days, but I have 
seen up to five in my yard or orchard. I would love to put up houses for them 
but I am wondering if I can keep other birds out. We have house finches and 
starlings and lots of other birds here. 
  I also have a pond and I am pretty sure that there is a pair of great blue 
herons living nearby. I would like to put fish in my pond to attract them here 
to feed. If you can help at all I would really apprecitate, please just email 
me off list.
  Thanks so much!
  Michelle
