  • Previous NCBS County Coordinator 2005 — 2018
  • NCBS Member since February 1996

Bill loves the precious bluebird.  He has been devoted to their conservation for more than 25 years.  Bill is now 102 years old.  Unfortunately, he is unable to take questions or give presentations any longer.  His many years of service for NCBS and Wake County is unparalleled.

He is known as “The Bluebird Man” of Wake County, North Carolina to friends and fellow “Bluebirders”. Bill founded Bluebirders of Wake County in July 1996.

Bill has established trails of bluebird nest boxes locations in various Wake County locations, including parks, greenways, and schools. Bill has spent so much time educating people about bluebirds and giving tips on how they can help with their conservation. In addition to being a bluebird expert, Bill enjoyed many years as a Master Gardener.
