Life Springs Anew :: Bluebirds

Take a look at our new “family additions” at camp.

As part of the Olivia Byrd Bird Observatory at the Center, there are two bird houses on the Lake Martin shoreline with cameras viewing into them. The bird houses have been there for two years, and FINALLY this spring, two bird families have “moved in!”

As best as I can see and count, there are 6 or 7 baby bluebirds in one house. For about one or two more weeks, we’ll get to watch as the mom and dad take turns feeding their young’uns. It is truly an amazing site, one that is not seen very often by most people.

In the other bird house, five eggs are resting in their nest and the mother bird frequently stays in the house to keep her eggs warm…

The Oscar C. Dunn Rotary Environmental Center will be open to the public this Sunday afternoon, April 28, 2006, from 1-5:00 p.m. In celebration of Earth Day this weekend, please consider taking a little time out of your day to visit the birds and the other great displays about our environment in the Center. Bring your whole family!
