Discovering the wonders of nature at MBTCS’ spring orientation
Our spring orientation was a tremendous success, providing both educational value and an unforgettable wildlife experience. The day offered new members a firsthand opportunity to appreciate the beauty and diversity of local wildlife, with a special focus on the cherished bluebirds that our society is dedicated to protecting.
Spring Orientation is June 1
We often talk about monitoring our “trails”. So what is a “trail”? A trail is a series of bluebird nest boxes strategically placed in order to entice a pair of mountain bluebirds to build a nest and raise their family (or families).
If you would like to see what a working trail looks like, you are invited to join Jim Leitch, President of MBTCS, on his trail in west Lethbridge.
