October 2000:  Holiday weekend I was lucky enough to run into a flock of 20-30 bluebirds flying south along the very top of the Kittatiny Ridge.  They were easily identifiable by their high pitched flight song and somewhat erratic flying patterns.

November 2000:  Small flocks of bluebirds spotted in open overgrown fields in Eastern Pennsylvania over the Thanksgiving weekend.
