Nestbox Trails

Western Bluebirds Need Your Help

Join a Bluebird Trails Citizen Scientist Team: Spring Volunteers Needed!

Do you love wildlife and birds? Are you someone that can’t help but to stop and watch when a flock of birds flies over? Does the sound of songbirds lighten your spirits? You may be the right fit for this fun volunteer opportunity. The Napa-Solano Audubon Society is looking for spring volunteers to help with our Bluebird Trails throughout Napa & Solano County.

What do Bluebird Trails Volunteers do?
Volunteers are needed to visit nest boxes weekly, from March until August, and monitor the progress of the nesting bluebirds. We have a number of trails at local parks in Napa and Solano Counties. Training will be provided on how to carefully check on the nesting birds. Volunteers record the nesting progress for each box along their trail. Results can be recorded on paper or directly into the Nestwatch App if you are “App-savvy”!

What else do volunteers do?
Many volunteers enjoy a little handywork, and may sometimes straighten leaning poles, build or make minor repairs to nestboxes, and clean out old nests.
