    Nest boxes sold to help native birds

    Official Texas Bluebird Society (TBS) nestboxes will be available for purchase at Saturday’s Dublin Market at Wright Park or by contacting Peggy Tolboom (254)445-3436. These bluebird nestboxes are designed to meet the demands of the Texas environment and will last for many years.

    Autumn is the time to put up new nestboxes and clean out older nestboxes to provide a space for native cavity-nesting birds. Nest boxes cost $30, or $20 with a TBS membership. Plenty of information about bluebirds can be found at: TexasBluebirdSociety.org.

    Dublin Market Days will be open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Wright Historic Park.
