Bluebird House Workshop – Welcome Spring with a Splash of Blue!
April 11 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm UTC-4
$10.00
Spring is finally here—and with it comes one of nature’s most breathtaking sights: the return of the dazzling Eastern Bluebird! Imagine spotting a flash of brilliant blue as the male bluebird, with his vibrant feathers and warm orange chest, claims his territory and sings to attract a mate. It’s a true sign that warmer days have arrived.
These charming birds thrive in open spaces like pastures, parks, golf courses, and backyards—but they need a little help from us. In the past, Eastern Bluebird populations declined due to habitat loss and fewer natural nesting spots. The good news? Thanks to people putting up bluebird houses, their numbers have been increasing!
✨ Now’s your chance to be part of that story!
Join us for a fun and interactive Bluebird House Workshop where you’ll:
- Learn fascinating facts about Eastern Bluebirds
- Discover how to attract them to your yard
- Build your very own bluebird house to take home
