Bluebird Boxes

Lake Frederick, Virginia

What to do on rainy cold days. This 55+ community that we moved to in July 2018 now has lots of Eastern bluebirds. After putting up a bluebird box
in our backyard early Spring 2019, it produced 17 fledglings (three broods). I've made 15 similar boxes (tweeking the design slightly to improve ventilation) and installed 11 in the surrounding neighborhood.
We now have lots more Eastern Bluebirds!

But did you make them? You are very good. I would have liked to have been able to work with wood, but alas, I am a terrible disaster for all manual work

Those are great looking boxes that the bluebirds will be lining up to nest in.
