The New Canaan Conservation Commission and Wildlife in Crisis are delighted to announce the planned release of four Bluebirds and a Cedar Waxwing at the Bristow Nature Park next to Mead Park at 5pm this Saturday, May 11th.

The release will take place by the small pond near the Old Stamford Road entrance t0 the 16.8-acre Bristow Preserve. Those arriving by car should park by the Mead Park baseball fields and follow the signs to the Bristow entrance.

The 4 orphaned bluebirds were brought to Wildlife in Crisis last summer, raised andspent the winter in a flight cage. The cedar waxwing was brought in suffering from a wing fracture and starvation. Dara Reid, Director of Wildlife in Crisis, remarked “All five birds will have a great second chance for survival at the Bristow Bird Preserve.”
