Eastern Bluebird Project

The Pasco Audubon Eastern Bluebird project began in 2012 and with the support of our board members Mike Kell and Bob Burkard, volunteers, and donations it continues stronger than ever.

The Pasco Audubon Bluebird Conservation Project supports the conservation and recovery of the Eastern Bluebird population and other cavity nesting birds by providing safe nesting boxes in locations throughout Pasco County. The areas being targeted are those where natural nesting cavities are in a short supply, even though ample food and water are available. 

Pasco Audubon volunteers install and maintain bluebird nesting boxes as needed and then monitor them throughout the nesting season. Our volunteers track and record the nesting activities, tabulate results through the breeding season, and then communicate these results to our Audubon members and interested parties.

Our volunteers currently maintain over 40 Eastern Bluebird nesting boxes at ten locations throughout Pasco County. These include three nature preserves, three parks, one college campus, and a golf course.

In addition to providing nesting boxes, Pasco Audubon’s activities include educating and communicating with our members and the public on how they can help Eastern Bluebirds. These efforts include keeping the information current, as well as updating the Pasco Audubon website to provide an interactive map of the bird box locations and providing a “fresh look” at the activities and results of the project.
