Ken Kernodle was raised on the family farm in the Brown Summit community of Guildford County, about 10 miles north of Greensboro. His appreciation and love for the outdoors including bluebirds and other wildlife developed at an early age. As a youth, he would often look for dead hollow trees that could be used for bluebird houses on Sunday afternoon adventures in the woods! While in high school he built nesting boxes in shop class. Ken graduated from North Carolina State University with a BS in Agricultural Engineering and was employed by Duke Energy. During his 42-year career with Duke Energy, Ken worked in several locations in the Carolinas including Lancaster, Anderson, High Point and Durham. One could always find a bluebird nesting box in his yard.
Following retirement in January, 2011 Ken decided to devote additional time to support the resurgence of and public education about bluebirds. He looked to the North Carolina Bluebird Society to find a conduit. Since joining the Society in 2011 Ken has served as Durham County Coordinator, Vice President and President.
Ken and his wife Peggy live in Durham and have two adult children and two grandsons.
Join us for an exciting afternoon with Ken Kernodle as we all learn more about the Eastern Bluebird. Please contact the Extension office at 252-527-2191 with any questions.
