SECTION B
Finch Commended For Conservation Measures
Bluebirds can once again
be seen in many parts of the
Carolinas due largely to the
conservation efforts of
bluebird enthusiasts such as
Jack R. Finch, retired
nurseryman from Bailey.
Finch says that “the
bluebirds are receiving my
social security payments.”
His brochure entitled
“Come Back Little
Bluebird” (available for 50
cents and SASE - from -
Homes For Bluebirds,
Bailey, N.C. 27807. Tel. (919)
• 235 - 4280) outlines for
interested persons what is
being done for the beautiful
native bird so loved by all.
“Homes For Bluebirds” is
a nonprofit organization
devoted to propagating
bluebirds on much the same
scale 'as Finch had
progagated blueberries
throughout his first career.
The chief difference in the
two lies in the need to.
educate the public with
regard to the bluebird’s
plight. Since the importation
of European starlings and
English sparrows into this
country, their aggressive
competition has usurped the
usual nesting sites sought by

Eastern bluebirds and other
native cavity nesting birds.
So Finch and those who join
his efforts supplement the
naturally occurring cavities
in dead trees and decaying
fence posts with nestboxes
of a particular design. The
most critical feature is an
entrance hole Ift” in
diameter, which effectively
eliminates starlings, since
they cannot fit into the
opening.
Finch also assisted
bluebirds when he alerted
tobacco farmers of the bird
traps in their curing barns.
This was the pot type oil
curer with a 6” smokestack
and rain cap which had no
bird screen or guard. The
bluebird’s natural tendency
to look inside a cavity was
often the first step to
disastrous death. Since
tobacco barns prior to 1957
numbered nearly 100,000,
and an average of 20 died in
each bam, the toll of dead
bluebirds from 1947 to 1954
was estimated to be in the
millions. This type of barn
flue is no longer in
widespread use.
In 1978, Finch joined his
efforts and expertise with
the continent - wide bluebird
movement as a founding
member of the North
American Bluebird Society
(NABS). The goals of NABS
are the same as Jack Fin
ch’s, but extend to all three
species of bluebirds -
Herring Run Is Saturday
Over 150 runners are
expected for the Fourth
Annual Great Edenton
Herring Run this Saturday
(May 1), beginning at 10
A.M. from Water St. at the
base of the old Courthouse
green. Participants will
walk, jog or run the 1 mile,
3.1 mile or 6.2 mile courses
winding through Hayes
Plantation.
Race organizers John
Dowd, Hobie Truesdell and
Mark Walsh agree that
previous course and age
group records will be
shattered in this year’s
event.
“We have assembled a
strong international field for
each race,” said John
Dowd, “I’m looking for such
local stalwarts as Hood
Ellis, John Donavan and
Warren Perry to eclipse
their best previous Herring
Run performances. We have
a real bam burner on our
hands.”
Dr. Mark Walsh himself a
former middle distance
standout at Notre Dame and
now a prominent kayaker,
added, “It’s participation
that counts. I’ll trade a
course record for 200 or
more local entrants anyday.

“My only fear,” says
Hobie Truesdell, “is that a

through Hayes during the
race. That could slow things
down. But, then again, it
could prove a great
equalizer, particulary for
