North Side Boxes

The boxes on the North side are scattered across the small area of the prairie in this picture.


They are along the foot paths mowed into the prairie, in pairs. Many were chosen by tree swallows, one by blue birds. A few of them were empty, as two pairs of tree sawllows will not nest 10-20 feet apart.

There was a box near the parking lot, only used by house sparrows.

A few boxes had just ended up in bad spots, so I had collected about 4 by the school house, just to put them somewhere. Two of those were moved along the service road that I have marked "new boxes", as well as the parking lot box. Two remain close to the school.

Two new locations (highlighted by frame):


The third one is by the last mowed path off the service road. It will get a pair from the main area, probably one near the creek and log house.



 This is where it is, in the back (to the right of this path):
