<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=3>WHEN: 10 AM, SATURDAY, JANUARY
27TH <BR><BR>To chase the winter blues away, come learn about bluebirds and
HCT’s Bluebird Trail. Diane Silverstein, recent past President of the Cape
Cod Bird Club and Bluebird Trail Coordinator, will explain the origins of
bluebird nestbox monitoring, discuss the bluebird life cycle, and show how
volunteers successfully established 38 nestboxes around HCT’s 60-acre preserve
in Harwich Port, known as the Bank Street Bogs. She will also explain why
HCT's preserve is attractive bluebird habitat and showcase some nestboxes.
<BR><BR>Diane also coordinated nestbox monitoring at Crowe's Pasture in Dennis
and Thompson's Field in Harwich. More than a dozen fledglings each of
eastern bluebird, American tree swallow, tufted titmouse and black-capped
chickadee took flight from HCT’s Bank Street Bluebird Trail after five months of
volunteer monitoring in 2006. Enjoy the show and consider becoming a
volunteer monitor in 2007! <BR><BR>Also see HCT’s website, <A class=msgbody
