The bluebird is America's most beloved songbird and is one of the only birds that depend upon humans for housing. Come learn more about this wonderful bird and even build a nest box when ornithologist John Rogers presents the public program “Bluebirds with Mr. Rogers". The program will take place at Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center on Sunday, April 27, 2014 at 2:00 pm.
Rogers is the co-founder of the New York State Bluebird Society and is responsible for the placement of many thousands of bluebird houses along "bluebird trails" in the state. He will be presenting a slide show about bluebirds, their habits and habitats. Rogers will also be discussing the decline of bluebirds due to competition from "introduced" animal species.
Following the slide show and discussion, participants can build bluebird nest boxes from kits provided by Rogers. Participant numbers will be limited for this popular program so pre-registration is requested by Wednesday, April 23rd. To sign-up, please call (315) 963-7286 ext 401. The program fee for this program is $3.00 per person or $12.00 per family. There is an additional fee of $8.00 per bluebird box. Participants who intend to build a nest box are asked to bring a hammer.
