Registration: Registration: Members: Individuals $5, families $15; Non-members: $15, family $25.


Join us from 12:00 AM to 2:30 PM to walk Landis Bluebird Trail.

Our Bluebird Trail consists of 44 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 House Wrens.  Our goal will be to visit 40 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.

Usually by this date, weather dependent, most first broods of bluebirds should have fledged, there should be lots of swallow nestlings in the boxes, and the wrens will be trying hard to catch up.

Maximum 5 participants.  Preregistration required.

Instructor: Shayne Mitchell
