Tracking Blue Bird Populations

For the past several years, Hank and Collette Huidekoper have installed over 15 blue bird houses; checking and cleaning them on a regular basis and tracking the increasing Blue Bird population at Silver Spring. The spring of 2011 marks the highest number of Blue Bird families ever on our property, ( 9 families). The houses that are not occupied by Blue Birds often become homes to other species of birds.
The increasing population is a direct result of the Huidekopers efforts along with the environmentally friendly turf management programs the club has implemented over the last 5 years.
