Bluebirds: Nest Boxes and Habitat Restoration

Mike Azevedo and Georgette Howington have been studying cavity-nesting birds for decades, leading to nest-box experience with nearly twenty species. Nest boxes aren’t a hobby, but a critical component of habitat. Mike and Georgette will talk about the organization for which they volunteer, the California Bluebird Recovery Program, and why the work of replacing the homes that development has destroyed is so important.

Wintu Audubon Society is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Wood Ducks!

A large island in the Sacramento River caused a small branch of the river to flow by some residential homes and has enabled Harvey and Jeannette Carroll to observe and enjoy a large variety of birdlife, especially waterfowl.

Early every spring a large number of Wood Ducks began visiting the channel below their house and often flew up into the oak trees apparently looking for a large enough hole for a nest.

Wood Ducks are cavity nesters. Harvey got a pattern and made several Wood Duck nest boxes which were soon inhabited and Wood Ducklings were successfully raised. Each year the Carrolls learned a bit more about making the nest boxes safe, but a friend loaned Harvey a “Nestcam” which was hooked up to a small television set and much information was available about the ducks habits.

The Carrolls will show their Wood Duck photos and tell us about their nestbox adventures at our April 14th, 7:00 PM Zoom presentation.

As several groups are doing, we are pre- registering everyone for our upcoming presentations.
