Austin Head has achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. His Eagle project was to build three bird houses for St. Catherine Retirement Community. These permanent bird houses bring areas of observation closer to residents who enjoy watching the natural freedom of bird life in the complex.

The bird houses are located in the courtyard and at the south entrance. The project totaled 117 hours.

“The residents thoroughly enjoy the bird houses and were impressed with the quality of their workmanship,” said Stacey Montero, manager.

Austin is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Head.
