Birdhouse Workshop
Saturday, February 13, 2010
Leslie House, Leslie Science & Nature Center - 1831 Traver Rd
1:00 pm to 2:30pm
Are you thinking about putting up a birdhouse in your yard? Do you have a bird house already and wonder whether you need to do anything to prepare it for spring nesting? Natural Area Preservation and the Washtenaw Audubon Society are teaming up to cosponsor a seminar on birdhouse basics. Participants will learn about what types of birds might be interested in different types of nest boxes, how to build or purchase nest boxes, and how to place and care for them. Join us on Saturday, February 13 at 1:00 at the Leslie House of the Leslie Science Center, at 1831 Traver Rd. in Ann Arbor. The session will run for about an hour, perhaps an hour and a quarter. Call 734-794-6627 for more information.
