Eastern Bluebird nesting season officially drew to a close in mid-August with the fledging of our last three bluebird babies. For about 5.5 months, Ranger Allcox monitored and maintained the 13 nest boxes provided to our park by the North Carolina Bluebird Society to both track the success of our bluebird conservation program and to provide human intervention when needed (via predator guards and ideal nest box modification/placement) so that young eastern bluebirds can have their best chance at survival.
