The Skidaway CCA (Coastal Conservation Association) hosted “The Secrets of Bluebirds” on Saturday, June 29th at the Landings Kids Lagoon for the CCA Cast Away Club. Bluebird secrets were revealed by Skidaway Audubon board members and Bluebird Trail experts Brenda Ecken, Sarah Lucas, and Bill Lee. The event was an engaging, interactive program on the lifecycle of bluebirds. The children learned how the bluebird houses are monitored on the island and the lifecycle from nest, egg, nestling to fledgling. Ellis S. was amazed that each bluebird laid a unique color egg. Did you know that they lay three to six eggs? The most found on Skidaway was nine eggs in one nest! “Mister Bluebird was on our shoulder” and in the variety of nests for viewing. The childrenwere gifted binoculars to keep our budding young ornithologists inspired. Volunteers from the Skidaway CCA were onhand for a fishing clinic after the Bluebird presentation for the kids, parents, and grandparents. It was an exciting, educational, fun-filled, morning for the Cast Away Club!

UPDATE – here’s some of the action at the event – Many thanks to all our talented and dedicated volunteers! Here’s a Flickr album of some of the action =============================== Electro -Fishing is one of the tools we use to determine the health of our lagoon which we use for stocking in each spring. Using a boat that sends a a slight shock to the water we scoop fish, weigh, measure, and release. This is usually done in early spring each year, in advance of, and to inform our decisions on how and where to stock our lagoons with juvenile fish. If you’re on our CCA distribution list, you should receive notification via email.

Each year, a group meets at The Public Works building and goes out to as many as 15 lagoons each day. Richard.j.hackett@gmail.com H 922-598-9185C 330-564-8971
