10 kids came to make blue bird boxes this week for outdoor school. Susan and Irv Townsend graciously spent their afternoon here helping the students measure, mark, hammer, and assemble bluebird boxes for each student to take home. In addition, Susan shared a children's book with the group written by Lucille and Micki Nellis, entitled The bluebirds on Eagle Cap Ridge.Susan explained that having this bluebird house would be like adopting bluebirds. Once the box was mounted, it would need to be checked once in a while to make sure the birds and eggs were safe; that good birds were living there not pesky ones like the English Sparrow, and the box would need to be cleaned out after the fledglings leave so that it would be ready for another bird family.
