Nest Boxes
What do all of these bird species have in common? *
* They all will use artificial nest boxes.
What is the Howard County Bird Club doing to encourage nesting opportunities for these species?
We sponsor efforts to purchase and locate artificial nest boxes in appropriate locations for the above species and find someone who agrees to monitor the boxes on a regular basis. We are developing instructions for monitoring nest boxes for each of these species. (If the boxes are not actively monitored, they can be taken over by other undesirable bird species.)
What has the club done so far?
Status report that is periodically updated.
