Bluebirds of Antietam, a Documentary Film
After spotting an eastern bluebird outside their cabin located near the Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Md, Mark and Jean Raabe built bluebirds boxes on their property hoping to stave off the decline in the bluebird population. The film shares the story of their success and the current work that continues to grow and fledge bluebirds on Antietam National Battlefield, one of the oldest continually monitored bluebirds trails in the United States and the only trail within a national park.
Inspired by Nature, Art and Crafts by Lori Lewis
Inspired by Nature features art and crafts of either natural subjects or materials including paintings.
“It is important to me to capture an accurate rendering of the subject while trying to convey its natural personality or demeanor. Painting birds and wildlife is a labor of love for me, and I hope that is evident in every painting that I do.” — Lori Lewis

Maryland-DC Breeding Bird Atlas 3
The Maryland-DC Breeding Bird Atlas is an effort to understand the populations of birds breeding in Maryland and the District of Columbia. Anyone can help collect data for the atlas—in fact, nearly all atlas data are collected by volunteers. If you already go birding, you are only one step away from atlasing—simply record breeding behavior you observe using a breeding code and submit the data through the MD-DC BBA3 eBird portal. If you’d like to learn more, explore the resources available here and connect with the Atlas on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram at @mddcbba3.
