Luann Johnson and Pat Anderson recently installed bluebird nest boxes at St. Clare Walker Middle School and Middlesex Elementary School. A third nest box is planned for Middlesex High School.
Special cameras that will transmit live images of nesting birds are planned. Students will perform scientific analysis, predictions, graphing and other STEAM techniques using the Bluebird videos as their source material.
One box was occupied by bluebirds a few days after installation. Johnson and Anderson are members of the Middle Peninsula Chapter of Virginia Master Naturalists and will provide ongoing support and monitoring of the boxes.
