A USFWS biological science technician checks a Refuge mountain bluebird box. The Refuge bluebird trail is at over 90 nest boxes and 18+miles long. With invasive bird species like European starlings and English sparrows often outcompeting native bluebirds for natural nest sites, the Refuge’s bluebird trail takes on an increased importance.
