Attracting Bluebirds and Other Cavity Nesters to Your Yard
Many spring migrants will soon be returning to our area looking for housing. Learn how to attract a wide variety of cavity-nesting birds to your yard. We will discuss the pros and cons of different nest box styles and cover the basics of where to place them and how to maintain them. This workshop is meant for amateur and experienced bird lovers. Near the end of the program we’ll take a short walk on the bluebird trail to see how boxes should be mounted and placed so dress for the weather.
Ages 12+
This program is free for everyone! Donations are greatly appreciated.
Pre-register by February 28 at 11:55 pm or register at the program if spots are available.
