Last Chance Audubon Society

Bob Niebuhr, current president of Mountain Bluebird Trails, Inc., will discuss the importance of bluebird conservation this Tuesday, September 18th, at 7:00 p.m. in the L&C Library large meeting room. The event is sponsored by the Last Chance Audubon Society and is free and open to the public.

Bob will discuss how over the past 50 years, bluebird numbers have significantly increased largely due to the bluebird conservation movement. Other topics include migration patterns of the three species of bluebirds, their winter and summer ranges, and bluebird banding. Finally, Bob will discuss nestbox design and construction and bluebird monitoring.

Bob grew up in South Dakota and moved to Montana for his love of the outdoors. He is currently chair of the Cavity Nesting Bird Committee for Upper Missouri Breaks Audubon in Great Falls. He has also served on the board of the North American Bluebird Society.
