You may recall from my last blog a few months back that I was given new nest boxes to replace all the ones in the Forgotten Land. Through a couple mild days late in 2020 I assembled the boxes. I also went out another morning and took down the remains of the old boxes. Then through February I painted them and just days ago I applied roof shingles that a buddy of mine gave to me. It's always nice when items are donated.
Then yesterday, March 1st, I went out to the area and set the boxes up. It wasn't the nicest of mornings with the wind chill, and gusts between 50 to 70 km/hr but they are up and ready for the birds.
The box here in the photo is on the post where I had "old reliable". I hope they like it.
I'd say this is a good start to the 2021 nesting season.
Good luck. I must try find my bluebird box. I don't know the safe place where I put it for winter!
