UPCOMING EVENTS

TIME TO CHECK WOOD DUCK BOXES
 
Please get out and check those wood duck boxes and make any necessary repairs ASAP.  Wood ducks generally start looking for nesting sites around mid February, so the sooner he boxes are ready, the better.  Also, please make a note of nesting success/attempts, whether it be by wood ducks or other animals.  Send this information to us at your earliest convenience.  Thanks.
