Ten nest boxes are located at Bill Cooke Park creating a Bluebird Trail as a conservation effort to ensure the future of the Eastern Bluebird and other native cavity-nesting birds in North Carolina. The nest boxes were built by the older age groups at the 2020 Graham Recreation & Parks Summer Day Camp. The nest boxes are now installed and monitored by Graham Recreation & Parks and the Burlington Bird Club.
Nest boxes are also located at South Graham Park, Graham Regional Park, and Graham-Mebane Lake.
Monitoring for the 2025 season has officially wrapped up. Here are the results shared by the Burlington Bird Club:
• Bill Cooke Park: 10 active boxes fledged 35 bluebirds, 4 tree swallows, 5 chickadees, & 6 house sparrows
• Graham-Mebane Lake: 3 active boxes fledged 25 bluebirds
• Graham Regional Park: 2 active boxes fledged 4 bluebirds, 4 house sparrows, & 6 chickadees.
