Bluebirds of Antietam

Bluebirds of Antietam is a short documentary film that tells the story about one couple’s efforts to save the Eastern Bluebird. After spotting a bluebird outside their cabin located near the Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland, Mark and Jean Raabe built bluebird boxes on their property hoping to stave off the decline in the bluebird population.

The film shares the story of their success and the current work that continues to grow and fledge bluebirds on one of the oldest continually monitored bluebird trails in the United States on the Antietam National Battlefield.
