Second Saturday - Eastern Bluebird with Kathy Whaley

In this presentation about Eastern Bluebirds the focus will be on the general biology and conservation efforts of this iconic species. The presentation will highlight the bird's behavior, nesting habits, diet, and historic plight. Additionally, it will address the challenges faced by Eastern Bluebirds such as habitat loss and competition for nesting sites with invasive species including house sparrows. Conservation efforts, including the installation of bluebird boxes and monitoring program, will be explored to show how volunteers may contribute to the protection and recovery of this species. Plan to arrive early--this session usually fills all seats.
