- Gail Browning The NYS Bluebird Society began in 1982, according to Director Jennifer Murtaugh, a SUNY Cobleskill graduate. The State division partners with the North American Bluebird Society and is dedicated to increasing the population of the Eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis). County coordinators and volunteers compile statistics by erecting and monitoring nesting boxes in New York State. One example of their dedication is the New York State Bluebird Trail with boxes established all along Route 20 and including the Landis Arboretum. Through their efforts, the bluebird population has increased by 70% from 1985 to 2005. Did You Know?
