Welcome November with all of its beautiful fall colors!
**Welcome New Members**
From our President Melissa…
Did you know the Eastern Bluebird was a “mascot” in the Homecoming Celebration of Tennessee in 1976? We used this bird to appeal for all to continue the Bluebird Boxes as it was helping a population once threatened as steel fence posts replaced wooden ones AND overall habitat loss. These were two of the several factors making their numbers really low! Celebrate our beautiful Eastern Bluebird and its COMING HOME 50 years later still in 2026!!
