May 4, 2006    Press Release - For Immediate Release 
   
  Kentucky Bluebird Society Annual Meeting  
   
  The Kentucky Bluebird Society (KBS) invites members and the public to join us 
for our annual spring meeting on Saturday, May 27, 2006.  The event is 
co-sponsored by KBS and Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park (KDVSRP) located 
at Gilbertsville, Kentucky near Kentucky Dam. 
   
  The meeting will begin at the KDVSRP Main Lodge Meeting Room near the front 
lobby.  The meeting will begin at 1 pm with indoor sessions featuring bluebird 
presentations and the Carolina wren by special guest experts.  The KBS Outdoor 
Classroom Enrichment Program for Kentucky schools will also be featured 
including teachers and students that wish to present short summaries of their 
school projects.  Come see the KY Association of Environmental Education Award 
presented to KBS last year for this program!  A raffle and door prize drawing 
will be available for a KBS live cam box and other bluebird items. Outdoor 
activities will begin at about 4 pm with a short hike along a new KDVSRP/KBS 
bluebird trail to check new boxes and likely observe bluebird residents.  A 
special surprise field trip without hiking will also be available that you will 
not want to miss!   
   
  The public is invited to join KBS to celebrate Kentucky bluebirds and 
discover how to help and enjoy an outstanding wildlife species.  There is no 
charge for attending the May 27 Bluebird Special Event program.  
  KBS provides up to five free bluebird boxes to all Kentucky schools wishing 
to assist bluebirds in their school studies.  The Kentucky Ornithological 
Society (KOS) accepts applications for funding any activity that enhances the 
understanding of birds by young people.  A KBS live cam box, which brings 
outside bird nesting activities into the classroom, is an example of a project 
that will be strongly considered by KOS.  Visit 
http://www.biology.eku.edu/kybluebirds.html for more information including a 
link to the KOS web site for grant details.  Select the Anne Stamm Avian 
Education Fund at the KOS web site for a possible school bluebird live cam 
grant or other potential bird study project involving students.
