Firelands Audubon Society

Photo Auction

The Firelands Audubon Society (FAS) has sponsored the KIDS NATURE CLUB (KNC) for the last few years with the intent of "no child left inside".

KNC is very popular with Erie County students and we'd like to continue this worthwhile program so a PHOTO AUCTION is now underway and you can bid on some really beautiful photographs with all proceeds benefitting the KNC.

Richard Hartley, a local photographer, has donated these 19 photographs some of which were recently on exhibit at the Huron Library.

The photographs are of vivid color, high quality and approximately 18"x24" in size. Each picture is mounted on foamcore board and will be offered through our
online auction here until May31.

Here's how to participate in the auction:

1. Select the number (s) of the photos that you wish to bid on from the AUCTION page

2. Email your $ bid, name & phone # to the auctioneer by clicking at the bottom of the picture (s) on the description

3. All photos have a starting bid of $10.00 with $1.00 minimum incremental bids accepted

4. The auction will end at midnight on May 31, 2010

5. Check the auction website often to track the current bids ... don't miss out!

6. The winning bidders will be notified by email on June 1, 2010 with instructions on payment and pickup of your photos.

Thanks for your support of Firelands Audubon and the KIDS NATURE CLUB!

Not all bluebirds go south...

Here is an Album of "our bluebirds". They started coming to our front porch in mid-January at around 5:30 p.m each night and fly out around 7:00 a.m. and appear to have found warmth and comfort in our
Christmas wreath.

Sooner or later, the wreath is going to have come down so we will put a couple bluebird houses up soon with hopes of them sticking around. Enjoy!

Spring House Cleaning
MARCH, 2010:
~15th in a series~

Although there is some current experimentation with leaving nesting material in boxes on a year round basis, common sense and experience tells us that a good "spring house-cleaning" makes for a healthier
and more productive bluebird year. Some thoughts on the process: READ MORE
