Sharing the joy of birds since 1971

New Bluebird Trail

John and Shelly Posey (and Molly Moore behind the camera) erected three donated Eastern Bluebird nest boxes near the Lexington Manor Passive Park Community Garden.

A big shout out to Southern Maryland Audubon members John and Shelly Posey for erecting three Eastern Bluebird nest boxes near the Lexington Manor Passive Park Community Garden in Lexington Park, MD. It took muscle to drillĀ  through two feet of hardpan, concrete chucks and other debris at the site of the former Navy housing compound-turned-park. The bird boxes were donated to the garden and John built the predator baffles from stovepipe metal and plywood to keep snakes, raccoons and others out of the nest boxes. Now we are hoping for some Eastern Bluebirds looking to raise their second clutches of the season to move in.
