"I think most any bird will like this house." Soon there will be more happy birds in Ada because the Ada Public Library sponsored a birdhouse making project on Saturday afternoon at the library for kids in the second through fifth grades. Seventeen people built houses with the help of Barb Wiswell of Lima Lowe's. (Monty Siekerman photo)
