"CANCELED" TOUR

I am very sorry but we have CANCELED the Saturday May 2nd, 2020 Green Meadows Preserve Bluebird Trail Walk & Talk Tour.

I feel it is to soon to bring people back together for any size group for any type of gathering. It is way to soon to let our guard down. 

In this morning's issue of the MDJ front page Cobb County names parks to reopen this Saturday April 25th, please read the guidelines for those of you who plan on visiting one of the PARKS.

In honor of EARTH DAY on Wednesday the 22nd: Our TREE of LIFE is looking good and staying strong.


One hundred-eighty four year old

The Bluebirds are very busy with nesting, feeding
and taking care of their young.

A Chickadee Nest made of moss and hair.

They are very hard to see but these are
Tree Swallow eggs. The nest is built of
grass and feathers. 

This one of the parents watching me check the
Tree Swallow nest. They set on the perch
and watch me.

Big Bluebird babies!

I was able to get an exemption from PARK'S to check boxes and fill feeders with dried mealworms for a period of three hours, once a week during the COVID-19 and PARK'S being closed. Thank you PARKS! As of the completion of checking NestBoxes for this week! 



2020 Quick Summary

                                                                                        
Total Nest Sites = 51                   

Nesting Attempts = 41

Total Eggs = 117

Total Young = 70

Total Fledglings = 20

Please keep in mind that some of the NestBox locations are such that we can't check them because of the COVID-19, such as schools, senior community living locations.

With any good luck we can with everyone doing their part we hope to be able to have our Saturday June 6th Walk and Talk Tour with a much smaller group due to Social Distancing.
