Owashtanong Islands Audubon Society  Meeting

Tuesday, March 16, 6:00pm

Loutit District Library, Grand Haven

Attracting Bluebirds to Your Yard with Bernie Place, Michigan Bluebird Society, Muskegon County Coordinator

Power point presentation highlights include suitable nesting habitats, nest box types, pole and baffle recommendations, as well as providing natural food and supplemental foods, dealing with predators and much more!

My background includes operating a Wild Birds Unlimited store in Toledo, OH for 32 years. For those not familiar with Wild Birds Unlimited, there are over 385 stores in the US and Southern Canada. The stores are retailers of backyard bird feeding and housing supplies, outdoor & indoor nature gifts, nature books, birding optics and much more. My wife & I have since sold the store in 2021 and retired to Grand Haven, MI. We enjoy birding, boating and biking & hiking the area parks. Although we are limited to one nest box, we do have yearly successful nestings. Responsibilities of being an MBS County Coordinator, includes what is the Michigan Bluebird Society and their mission. The benefits of becoming an MBS member and more importantly providing free programs such as this to provide awareness of this beautiful native bird, their history, how to attract them and provide helpful ongoing information on their nesting success.
