Tehachapi Western Bluebird trail report

Guest Speaker Karen Pestana will present her annual report on the Tehachapi bluebird nest box program at the Audubon-Tehachapi meeting, Tuesday, April 25, 2017, at 7 p.m. in the Golden Hills Elementary School Cafeteria, 20215 Park Road.

For the last seventeen years Karen has coordinated the effort of many volunteers to maintain the nest boxes, monitor the birds' nesting progress, and report the findings to Cornell University Lab of Ornithology's NestWatch program.

In addition to an update on the local bluebird trail, Karen will give instructions on attracting bluebirds, installing a nest box, and how to become a nest box monitor.

Karen is a wildlife biologist at Edwards Air Force Base and before settling in Tehachapi, she held positions with California Fish and Wildlife and the National Park Service.

Light refreshments and a raffle will follow her presentation. Everyone is invited to attend. For additional information call Dixie at (661) 599-1889.
