The Friends of Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge will sponsor a program about bluebirds on Saturday, June 4, at 9:00 AM CDT (10:00 AM Eastern). In case of inclement weather, the program will be rescheduled to June 11, same time, same place (watch for notices on Facebook or the website). Besides the life history of the bluebird, retired school teacher, Jerry Hunefeld, will include information he has learned through 45 years of maintaining a bluebird trail in southwestern Dubois County.
The hour-long program will take place on the Refuge at the Boyds Trail parking lot, just east of Snakey Point Marsh. At the conclusion of the presentation, there will be a drawing for some bluebird boxes which were constructed and donated to this event by the Friends of the Patoka River NWR.
To get to the Boyds Trail parking lot, head east on SR 64 through Oakland City. Just outside of the city, past the brown sign directing you to Snakey Point, turn left onto CR 1275E. In ½ mile, bear left onto paved CR 1300E; it will become gravel after a downhill. Continue one mile to the parking lot located on the left side of the road. There is additional parking on the right side as well.
