Talk of the Town: Friends of Hagerman’s Adopt-a-Nestbox program

Friends of Hagerman volunteers are promoting the refuge’s Adopt-a-Nestbox program, which lets people sponsor a nestbox for $50 and name it. Boxes are placed along hiking trails at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge and assigned by random draw. Sponsors receive weekly email updates about nesting activity, with boxes potentially attracting Eastern Bluebirds, Carolina Chickadees, Carolina Wrens, Prothonotary Warblers or Tree Swallows.
