April 2025 President’s Message
I hope you are enjoying spring and that your nests or nestboxes have been full of babies. This is a time of year when there is a lot going on in the birdroom.
Our next club meeting will be at our Bird Sale on Saturday, May 31 at the Clackamas Community Club. Check for details in another part of this newsletter.
We will not have a club meeting in the month of June. Our July meeting will be on July 12. It will be our annual club picnic. Colleen Houck has invited us to her home in Salem for the picnic. It is a beautiful location with lots geese, ducks, and other birds. You won’t want to miss it. Look for details in our June and July newsletters.
I hope to see you at the May 31 sale.
