Hi:
Gerald Jansen called to say he had 2 Bluebirds trying to move into an occup=
ied, Tree Swallow Nest Box on their Greenwood property.
We discussed the field marks, deciding that it was very likely a pair as on=
e individual was much duller looking. The Bluebirds attempted to enter the=
nest box. The swallows diving attacks discouraged one of the Bluebirds bu=
t the other Bluebird, Gerry thinks, the female, perched on the nest box roo=
f! After a few minutes both finally leaving to escape the constant diving =
attacks of the swallows. I gave Gerry a Bluebird nest box that I had built=
years ago and never mounted. He is going to mount it and let us know if a=
nyone moves in! We are not optimistic as the Bluebirds need for accommodati=
on seemed urgent.
It has been several years since we had E. Bluebirds near Kingston, I recall=
three different sites that were revisited for a number of years; Barb Thom=
pson, Kingston, Gord Skanes, South Farmington and 2 nesting pairs in boxes =
at a single site in Bloomington. Gord's box was on a fence post, Barb's in =
Kingston and the two in Bloomington were on tall poles
Presently we are not aware of any Bluebirds in NS.
Cheers, Barbara and Pat
