2008 season brings 317 bluebird fledglings
Joe Wyatt, naturalist at Hammock Bay in Freeport, has been running a bluebird breeding program to increase the numbers of these beautiful indigenous birds.
The success has been quite good. In 2008, the program recorded 317 bluebird fledglings, which resulted in a success rate of 77.78%.
The program also resulted in 10 Carolina Chickadee fledglings, and 3 Brown-headed Nuthatch fledglings.
Joe is looking for Hammock Bay resident volunteers to help with the 2009 program.
