Bird House Tour


Thanks to everyone who came out for the First Annual Golf Course Birdhouse Tour. Close to 65 people showed up to walk and ride around the golf course, looking at the 12 new birdhouses that were installed back on March 31st. Led by local bird experts, Mary and David Fullerton, the highlight of the morning had to be the birdhouse by the 4th tee, where the Violet-Green Swallows were swooping in and out of the birdhouse, being completely oblivious to the large crowd that had surrounded them. Hand outs included a map of the course and a complete inventory of all birds seen at The Villages. There will be extra copies at the pro shop for anyone still needing one.
