About Bluebirds

The South Fork Natural History Society has scheduled a slide show and trail walk, on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon, designed to tell "All About Bluebirds."

Joe Giunta and Bill Chase, bluebird aficionados and trail experts, will teach the finer points of attracting, housing, and maintaining a healthy population of bluebirds. Their program is designed for those interested in bluebirds, but also for anyone who might like to become a bluebird trail monitor.

The society's Bluebird Recovery Program was begun in 1989, and there has been a noticeable increase in the bluebird population since then. Bluebird nest boxes were built and placed at specific sites because of the loss of breeding habitat such as trees and wooden fence posts.

Those interested are asked to call the society's Natureline in Amagansett for the meeting place and time.
