President's Report - Fall 2018
Migration in fall 2017 and spring 2018 was very rough on the mountain bluebird population. Fall and winter roared in last fall with an early snowstorm and continued with very few breaks. Then winter continued until ate April while the bluebirds were returning and looking for both food and nesting sites.
Trail Master gradually locating, upgrading nest boxes
We have approximately 2,585 Mountain Bluebird Trails nest boxes.We have GPS coordinates for 1,990 of them, but there are 595 nest boxes included in the inventory without coordinates. Thus we have GPS co-ordinates for two-thirds of our monitored trails, and 85 active trail monitors.
