Bluebird House Project In February, 2008 the Northern Neck Audubon Society (NNAS) will once again construct bluebird nesting boxes, continuing a 33-year tradition. Bring Back the Blue Birds project to increase the number of bluebird nesting boxes in the Northern Neck. Natural sites for blue birds continue to be depleted by logging and other development activities in our community. NNAS has distributed thousands of nesting boxes since 1975 when Mary Marlar started the project. But a big gap still remains between the need for and availability of nesting sites. Made of carefully selected western red cedar, the boxes are side-opening, which facilitates seasonal cleaning. Each box is branded with a Northern Neck Audubon "A" and will sell for $15.00. Inside are instructions on how and where to place the box to attract blue birds. Wood duck boxes are also sold. We hope to increase the wood duck population in our area. These large boxes are best located near a fresh water pond or stream. We do take special orders for this item as they are to large to stock with our local merchants. For more information you can contact Ronald Feldman at 804-580-8987.
