Give the Gift of Bluebirds!

If you live in the Willow Springs area or bike along the Centennial Trail, you have probably noticed a growing population of bluebirds. We have veterinarians Ted Fitch and Jeff Wieser to thank for this. 25 years ago, Dr. Fitch, then head veterinarian at Merrick’s Animal Hospital, began installing and maintaining bluebird houses along the fairways of the four Cog Hill Golf Courses. He and Dr. Wieser continue that work today. This year alone they helped fledge 401 bluebirds and tree swallows.

Now you can sponsor a bluebird house and contribute to CatNap at the same time. For your donation of $75 we will install a house, with your name etched on it if you like, and send you a photo of its location, followed by photos of eggs, hatchlings and fledglings.

Please help two great causes with one donation. Give yourself, a family member or a friend a living gift.
