The Eastern Bluebird with Kathy Whaley


In this presentation about Eastern Bluebirds in North Texas, the focus will be on the habitat, behavior, and conservation efforts of this iconic species in the region. The presentation will highlight the bird's nesting habits, diet, and migration patterns, emphasizing the steps taken by the refuge to support their habitats and survival. Additionally, it will address the challenges faced by Eastern Bluebirds, such as habitat loss and competition for nesting sites with invasive species like house sparrows. Conservation efforts, including the installation of bluebird boxes and monitoring programs, will also be explored to show how volunteers may contribute to the protection and recovery of this species.  


Plan to arrive early--this session fills up every year.
