Bluebird Nesting Box Tour at Tyler Arboretum

Discover the secret world of Tyler’s bluebird families! Join us for a walk through Tyler’s succession field as we uncover the fascinating lives of Eastern Bluebirds. For more than 50 years, our dedicated volunteers have cared for these iconic birds by monitoring their nesting boxes—and now it’s your turn to join the fun! On this family-friendly adventure, you’ll get up close to our bluebird boxes and witness nature in action. Keep your eyes peeled for brilliant bluebirds flitting about, discover active nests with delicate eggs, and maybe even spot fuzzy nestlings waiting for their next meal. Along the way, learn about cavity-nesting birds and how you can help these feathered friends thrive. This program is a perfect outing for curious kids and nature-loving grown-ups alike—bring your binoculars and a sense of wonder!
