Annual Dinner at The Lodge at Blue Lakes The Lake County Land Trust’s 2014 Annual Dinner held at The Lodge at Blue Lakes on Saturday, Oct. 11, was a huge success with over 100 people attending.

This annual fundraiser also commemorated the Land Trust’s 20th anniversary.

An adult Western Bluebird feeds its two young,
shortly before the birds fledged. The birds nested in
one of the many bird houses that have been erected
at the Rodman Preserve.
Bluebird boxes put to good use
Numerous bird houses have been erected at the Lake County Land Trust’s Rodman Preserve. The houses have proven to be a big attraction to the many Western Bluebirds that inhabit the area, as well as Tree Swallows and some flycatchers.
Board member, and nature photographer, Brad Barnwell, was able to photograph the adult bluebirds feeding the babies, not long before the baby bluebirds actually fledged, or left the box. |
