All About Bluebird Monitoring – June 13
Discover Bluebird Monitoring at Lapham Peak
Have you ever wondered what it takes to help a songbird population thrive? Join us for an informative look into the Bluebird Monitoring Program at Lapham Peak. This program is perfect for anyone curious about local wildlife conservation and those considering becoming a volunteer monitor. Join Lapham Peak Board Member and Treasurer, Karl Timm, and Master Naturalist, Rob Suhr, as they share what they have learned through Bluebird Monitoring at Lapham Peak.
What You’ll Learn:
-
The World of the Eastern Bluebird: Learn to identify adult bluebirds and their young, and discover the unique ways they build their nests.
-
A Peek Inside the Box: See photos of the inside of Bluebird boxes while they are in use—and learn why their design and placement are critical for protecting hatchlings.
-
The Life of a Monitor: Experience a "day in the life" of a volunteer. We’ll walk through the weekly rhythm of checking boxes, gathering statistics, and maintaining the 1.5-mile trail.
-
Conservation in Action: See how the data collected at Lapham Peak contributes to the Bluebird Restoration Association of Wisconsin (BRAW) to help ensure these beautiful birds remain a staple of our landscape.
Whether you are a seasoned birder or just looking for a meaningful way to spend time in nature, this program will give you all the details on how you can help make a difference.
