Students hold ceremony for bird blind construct
A dedication ceremony will be held at 5 p.m. Friday, April 30 to honor five Miami University architecture students who have started a bird-watching club. Josh Carson, Max Streeter, Alex Fritz, Nick Irmen and Jared White built a bird blind together in areas of Miami's natural areas.
The five students created the bird blind from scratch by securing funding and materials.
The bird blind is created in the form of a question mark and is surrounded by feeders, birdhouses and plants.
The students spent the semester constructing and designing the bird blind.
Grants were made available by the Oxford Community Foundation and Elizabeth Wakemen Henderson Chartiable Foundation. George Steel Fabricating Inc. provided an estimated $3,500 in steel plates and the Gillman Home Center allowed big discounts on lumber and bolts.
To reach the bird blind's location, students, faculty and staff may take State Route 73 and drive to the Dewitt Cabin and park.
