Diane Shelly, a founding member of the Tri-State Bluebirds, comments: “We are delighted to present naturalist and writer Stephen Bales at our Kickoff meeting for the 2023 Bluebird Nesting Season. As you may have noticed, bird courtship has begun in our area! An estimated 90 percent of all bird species form pair bonds – either a new partnership being formed or existing pairs renewing their commitments. Come to our meeting and learn how birds spend time together. But is it love?”
