I and KBS thank Steve Kistler for his recent post regarding Cub Run's School
Bluebird project.
Follow-up info for those interested: Cub Run is one of about forty KY Schools
participating in the KBS Outdoor Classroom Enrichment Program (so far).
Teacher and student feedback on this program has been more than excellent!
About half of the schools have installed one or more KBS Bluebird boxes on
their campus containing a video/sound camera with 65 ft. of cable. The
installation is simple. KBS offers up to five free NABS approved KBS boxes,
posts and hardware for all KY schools wishing to participate and properly
manage a Bluebird trail. The cam box is sold at or below cost for $65 to KY
schools. For more info. see the KBS web site at:
http://www.biology.eku.edu/kybluebirds.html Also see:
http://www.biology.eku.edu/KEEP.html for info. on how the public and schools
can learn about and help our KY Ospreys. These sites have direct links to
Cornell University where an active KY Osprey nest and two KY Bluebird nests can
be viewed during daylight hours with images refres
hing
every thirty seconds. The Osprey eggs should be hatching around May 13 ! The
school nest box cams provide live real time moving images and sound to
classrooms as opposed to still images. The above KY web sites (provided by
Eastern KY University - thanks Gary) are also linked to KOS. KBS and KEEP
encourages all participating schools to view and study all birds and habitats
during their classes and to incorporate bird study in other study areas.
