Bluebird Booklet Available
Several years ago, the WMAS Chapter produced a booklet entitled Welcome Back Bluebirds, a simple and handy reference to attracting and housing Eastern Bluebirds and other cavity nesting species. Periodically we offer these booklets to WMAS members. With thoughts of spring on our minds and the imminent return of Tree Swallows and Eastern Bluebirds to central and western Maine, this is a great time to once again make the booklets available. Also included in the booklet are simple instructions for nest box construction, for those who tend to be industrious in the workshop during the final weeks of winter.
Anyone interested in receiving an individual copy of Welcome Back Bluebirds may contact Wendy Howes at curiousbooks@verizon.net. Multiple copies to one address are available for a small postage charge.
