Second Annual Bluebird Nestbox Building Party!
Woo Hoo! It's that time again for our Second Annual Nest Box Building Party! This year's event will be held on Sunday, February 19, 2012 from 10am to 2pm at Ruby Creek Wildlife Preserve in Port Orchard, WA. Last years event was a lot of fun as members of the community came together to build Bluebird Nest Boxes for our local Bluebird Trails. All materials and tools will be provided--all you need to do is show up and be ready to make some nest boxes! This is a great event for everyone in the family and lunch and beverages will be provided to all participants. Afterwards, a guided tour of Ruby Creek Wildlife Preserve will be given by board member Bob Wiltermood. To learn more about this fun filled event and to RSVP, check out our web site at http://www.pugetsoundbluebird.org/events.html To check out pictures and blog from last years nest box building event, check out our blog at http://sialia-bluebird.blogspot.com/2011/03/bluebird-nestbox-building-party.html
Looking for other ways to help out local Bluebirds? We also have a new program called Adopt a Nest Box program. For a donation of $50.00, you can help pay for materials to build one Bluebird nest box for our trails. We will place a plaque on the box with your name on it and you will receive regular updates during the season on bird activity in your nest box. To learn more about this program, click on the events link above on our web site and scroll down to Adopt a Nest Box Program.
We look forward to seeing you there at the party and the Bluebirds thank you for your support!

Desi, Lucy, and the kids have moved on
No bluebirds in the box :-( "Empty Nest Syndrome" |
So even though I am feeling a little bit of "empty nest syndrome", I am also happy for Desi, Lucy, and the fledglings. Desi and Lucy had a very successful clutch: Out of the 6 eggs laid, 5 of them hatched, and all 5 of the nestlings fledged! A 100% success! It has been an honor and pleasure to watch and monitor Desi and Lucy's kids this year, and we have high hopes that Desi and Lucy will once again choose our trail again next year for their family. And who knows, maybe the fledglings will return to the area and take up residence in some of our other near by bluebird trails? We can only hope this will be the case, and we anxiously look forward to next years trails and bluebird adventures!
A big thank you to Phil and Fran, owners of the Christmas Tree Farm where the Christmas Tree trail is located. We appreciate your support of our project and for being such an active part in the bluebird's lives. May all your days have the Bluebird of Happiness!
