New Bird Houses add to our Audubon Options for Nesting Friends with New Owl Family
Shadow Hills CC added to the list of “affordable housing for our feathered friends” this past month, by adding a couple of new bird houses on the perimeter of the course. Some stalwart, hearty members and staff braved the cold to get the job done.
The new structures are found adjacent to holes # 1,3,4,5,9 tee,13, & 14. We wish the new tenants “happy nesting” and offer special thanks to those who were involved! In the pictures below, you will find Jake Witherspoon. Deb and Wayne Elliott. Pat Williams. Susie Leo. Carolyn Townsend, and Betsy Ovitt.
Birds expected any day…

It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane…No…Wait…It’s a BIRD!
Not only does the early bird get the worm, but the early risers get the birds!
The 6:30AM bird walk last Sunday attracted seven early risers to walk the course in search of the birds. The bird activity was little slower now as nesting season is about over. The group was led by birder Kathy Lamberg and meandered down holes 10 and over to 17.
She helped them identify bird calls as well as the visible birds. There were two highlights of the hour long walk, one was a juvenile Woodpecker high on a snag of a tree and the other was a small Cooper Hawk chasing a big Turkey Vulture in flight. The hawk attacked the vulture and flew into his chest a number of times until the vulture left. We think there is a hawk’s nest near the 16th tee, so watch for it!
Audubon Birdhouse Event Gets Kids Building for the Birds!
On July 10th, several families showed up to take on the building of the first few birdhouses that will be placed around the course, as part of our Audubon certification process.
We aren’t sure if there will be a “turf war” over the beautiful resulting houses, but fun was certainly had by all!
