The Early Bird Gets the Nest
By arnold | May 23, 2008
The first bird to nest directly on Highland Park’s Eugene Young Environmental Education Center (NJ) chose a quite visible spot (see photo at left) on the raucous green solar roof structure. Actually, the structure is not yet truly solar: we need to find a grant to install the intended solar panels. But to the bird, it probably seems solar enough: warm, well lit, and securely wedged in among the girders. Whoever sees and can identify the bird, contact us. Then we can know what bird it is and watch the nesting/fledging process over the next several weeks.
Come down and watch the process as eggs are laid, hatched, and matured into fledglings.
