(Chelsea Update would like to thank Kathy Claflin for the information in this story and the Waterloo Natural History Association for sponsoring this event.)
On Sunday, Oct. 15 from 2-3:30 p.m. at the Eddy Discovery Center, 17030 Bush Road in Sylvan Township, you can make your own bird or bat house.
Do you want to encourage birds to nest in your yard next spring or bats to eat the mosquitoes?
In this hands-on session, Capt. Jeff Porter will help you build a house for either birds or bats, using pre-cut, recycled wood. Limited to 20 houses, so sign up early and specify the kind of house you want to make.
Cost: Wren – $10, Bluebird – $12, Bat – $16.
Advance registration required at 734-475-3170.
