The first week of November marks the beginning
of our 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. Inside are instruction 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. They sell for $30.00 at local
merchants.
Special thanks are due three local businesses for the contribution
each made to the nesting box project.
- Lillian Lumber Co. of Burgess again procured for us high
quality western red cedar at a price which enables us to sell the boxes
for less than the typical market prices for comparable boxes.
- Pollard Properties of White Stone let us use their construction
fabrication building in White Stone as the box construction facility.
- Kilmarnock Planning Mill Inc. again has given complimentary
storage space for all our completed boxes.
