Keven:  East of Caroline

Keven: East of Caroline

 

This bird house is not that far from the farm house.    Keven took a road trip to the Caroline area where his sister has a farm.    But it doesn’t look like any of the fine-feathereds are home.    Maybe they are out catching insects for dinner – or looking for building materials to soften the nest box bed.
DID YOU KNOW?    The line from the movie Field of Dreams was right:  “If you build it they will come”.    Many types of birds will be grateful if you build them a nest box.    You will attract Mountain Bluebirds, Starlings, Wrens, Owls, and if there is water nearby – Ducks.    The Alberta Conservation Association suggests you place the box with the entrance hole about 2.5 metres (8 feet) above the ground, higher for owls and kestrels.
