The 2017 Wildwood Park Summer Nature Series featuring the free program "Bluebirds and Smartboxes: High-Tech Housing and Feeding for Our Wild Feathered Friends" on Thursday, July 6, 2017 at Wildwood Park in Radford, VA.
We're bringing bird boxes and feeders into the 21st century! With built-in cameras, weather sensors and interactive video screens, we can learn more about wild birds' behavior than ever before. Come check out these powerful new research tools and try to earn a treat from our specially-designed "human feeder"!
The program will be led by Sarah Foltz of the Radford University Biology Department.
Join us in a marvelous natural setting at twilight for these free bi-weekly, family-friendly multi-media presentations by local naturalists starting in June and continuing through August.
