The Boys in Blue: How to Attract Birds to you Backyard         

Warroad Public Library
Heidi Hughes from the Agassiz Audubon Society will be at the Warroad Library talking about Bluebirds!

Minnesota is a great place to 'grow' bluebirds and "bluebirders." In fact, Larry Zeleny, founder of the North American Bluebird Society, was 13 years old when he spotted his first pair of nesting bluebirds in the North Star State. He went on to tell people all over America - installing and monitoring bluebird trails is a great way to get kids and adults involved in conservation and America's fastest growing outdoor recreation activity:
birdwatching.

This spring, Agassiz Audubon Society is launching a new "Community Bird Watch" project, in partnership with local schools, libraries and parks. They're inviting the public to join them.

If you're interested in becoming a nest box monitor, or just want to learn more about backyard birds, come to the free program at 6:30 pm - Tuesday, March 13th at the Warroad Library. Heidi Hughes, author of the *Expert's Guide to Backyard Birds* and *Homes for Birds* will explain how to install and monitor bird nest boxes; and she'll answer questions about attracting
birds.


Tuesday, March 13, at 6:30 p.m.
