hey everyone,

i wrote this little story about a study that is hot-off-the-presses by
a UCBerkeley postdoc. this study looks at the anti-pest benefits of
encouraging bluebirds to nest in vineyards in california instead of
resorting to pesticides. it's short, it's sweet and it has lots of
pretty pictures:
