This trip will begin at 7:30 am and should finish up between 1 and 2 pm. Please contact Allan to secure your spot at 768-8582.
Note: Due to the absence of bluebird eggs in the nesting boxes along the birding route, coupled with the long grass which has yielded ticks, There are very few nest boxes inhabited along the birding route this spring, therefore there are no bluebird eggs or offspring. Many nest boxes have very tall grasses and shrubs nearby which has also produced a very high incidence of ticks. For these two reasons it has been decided to cancel this event for this year.
