Bluebird Trail Walk #2 – “Three’s a Crowd” at Landis Arboretum

Join us from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM to walk Landis' Bluebird Trail.

 Our Bluebird Trail consists of 40+ nest boxes.  These boxes are spread over a large area. The three species of birds that typically use our nest boxes are Eastern Bluebirds, Tree Swallows and Northern House Wrens.  Our goal will be to visit most of the nest boxes and see each of these species up close. Along the way we’ll talk about birds, how to attract them to nest boxes, and anything else that crosses our minds.  Please be prepared for a 2.5-mile, 2+ hour hike, with some small hills.  Dress for the weather.  Waterproof footwear and clothing appropriate for hiking through tall grass are recommended.  You may also want to bring binoculars, camera, water, and a snack (or picnic lunch for afterwards).  

 Usually by this date, all three species are busy nesting, and the boxes should be approaching max capacity.  We hope to observe nests being built, eggs being incubated, and babies at various stages of development.  Maximum 5 participants.  Preregistration required

 Instructor: Shayne Mitchell
