All are invited to a special event at South Toledo Bend State Park on September 29 beginning at 9:30 a.m.
This area is a major site for bluebirds in Louisiana, and through special arrangements with the Hodges Foundation, the Louisiana Bayou Bluebird Society (LBBS) has continued its 40-year mission of tending to the bluebird trail at Hodges Gardens, even though the park is closed and gardens are not open to the public.
This year local LBBS volunteers looked after the 25-house trail, stewarded the fledging of over 160 baby bluebirds and kept alive a tradition going back over a generation. While the future use of the gardens remains uncertain, the bluebirds are tended and cared for. Some of the hundreds of bluebirds we have shepherded over the years may be the ones you see in your yard or as you drive along the roads of Sabine Parish.
The society invites you to its annual meeting at South Toledo Bend State Park, located at 120 Bald Eagle Road in Anacoco. The meeting will take place on September 29 from 9:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. Refreshments will be available.
The featured presentation will be called Bluebirds 101 and will be presented by Sheryl Bassi and Evelyn Cooper. The informative program covers how you can get started with bluebirds and includes pictures and information taken from Cooper’s 20 years of experience on her trails.
Registration is free. Come and enjoy the fellowship, refreshments and great information about bluebirds and cavity-nesting birds. Door prizes will be provided.
