Boxes for Bluebirds: Georgia's Nature Class



This month's nature class for Park P.A.L.S was all about the Eastern Bluebird. Georgia learned all about this bird through slideshow presentation and naturalist discussions. Afterwards they went outside to look at the bluebird nest boxes around the nature center. They cleaned out last year's nests and learned how to take care of the nest boxes. Then they went back inside and made their own to take home. One naturalist noted that the kids were so good with their hammer and nails that they should all come help him build a barn :-)

She now has two bluebird boxes. We cannot put them up yet, though, but hopefully when we move we'll have the space and proper environment.
