Kenton County Parks & Recreation will host a training session for new and exisiting NKY BlueBird Trail monitors on Saturday, May 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Kenton County Public Works facility in Independence.
Trail monitors are volunteers who help monitor and maintain bird nest boxes during the bluebird mating seasons from late March to August. According to a press release from the parks and recreation department, “monitors generally work in teams of two and record their observations for a series of nest boxes, noting such data as first nest-building activity, and which species is using the nest box.”
The session will feature training on monitors’ responsibilities and will provide a light lunch. People interested in attending must register at the county’s website.
To learn more about the event and the NKY BlueBird Trail, read the parks department’s statement about the event and program on their website.
