They will also eat meal worms but definitely prefer live ones to the dried
variety.

I often have Bluebirds in winter, depending on severity. If there are
berries in bushes they stay around. My Bluebirds don’t usually respond to
worms in winter except that horrible April when we had 2 back to back snow
storms, but crushed up suet is a good idea. I will give it a try.

About 12 years ago, I had several bluebirds in my semi-rural yard in
Onalaska during some bitterly cold and snowy weather. I remember putting
out crumbled up suet in a hanging dish feeder several times a day and the
bluebirds readily came to eat it. My residence backed up to a wooded
hillside which probably provided some natural foods for them.

My sister in Fox Point just reported 6 bluebirds at her feeders and in her
yard.

If my memory isn't failing me, I think I would occasionally see a Bluebird
in Lake Park in the winter when I lived in Milwaukee. I know when I lived i
Illinois I once saw a small flock of Bluebirds in subzero temps in Urbana's
Meadowbrook Park...

I was just thinking it was past time for me to bring my bluebird house in
(it's 35 degrees here in Spring Green this morning), when I looked out my
window to see three bluebirds fussing over who was going into the box
first! Should the birds still be here?
