Larry: Oak Run, California, United States; I am an avid bird watcher and I am very interested in increasing the Western Bluebird population in my area as well as helping others increase the bluebird population where they live. To this end I have created a video on "Building A Bluebird Trail" here http://www.thebirdersreport.com/wild-birds/bluebirds/building-bluebird-trails-and-nestboxes .

I enjoy helping other people bring the joy of birds into their backyards and into their lives. This single activity has reduced the stress in my life.
Bird watching, conservation and wildlife habitat preservation are of the utmost importance to me. I have been creating wildlife habitat and successfully helping wild birds breed in my locale for over 25 years.
I am very interested in conservation and alternative energy for the future of this planet. I am a member of the National Audubon Society and Shasta County Coordinator for the California Bluebird Recovery Program.
I am also interested in helping people grow as human beings and become successful in their lives.
