Here are some looks at the boxes, in case you have not braved the snow, cold and wind to go see them. Some people have asked why the boxes are in pairs. The reason the boxes are "paired" is that there are also Tree Swallows in this area, and they will use the same boxes as Eastern Bluebirds. When boxes are paired, such as this arrangement, Tree Swallows will use one box and Eastern Bluebirds will use the other. By arranging the boxes this way, we up the chances of Bluebirds nesting and not being crowded out by the Tree Swallows. Hopefully, we will see both of these species using the boxes this year!
A special "thank-you" to the Peters Township Parks & Recreation Department and Department of Public Works for working with me on this project.
