Having recently constructed nest boxes for several species of owl, I
am looking for tips on box placement. The boxes are intended to be
placed on my property in rural Charlotte County, NB. This property is
ten acres in size, consisting of approximately four acres of southern
exposure field with scattered apple trees, an old property line wind
brake consisting of good sized hardwoods which borders the field, four
or five acres of woods consisting of mixed mature hard and softwoods
and an acre or two of lakeside marsh. The field, wind brake and the
edge of the woods get nice early morning sun and the wood-lot gets
good afternoon sun.
As of now, I intend to put a Saw-whet box in an old cedar which is
surrounded by firs and other cedars, place a Screech Owl box near the
edge of the field or marsh and possibly place the Barred Owl box near
the edge of the field.
Any comments?
The relative lack of nesting opportunities for cavity nesters these
days has gotten me hooked on placing boxes. Last year I placed several
boxes for Tree Swallows and Bluebirds with good results. This year I
have created owl boxes, a box for woodpeckers and am providing some
opportunities for birds like Barn Swallows and Pheobes. A bat box is
next.
