Hi All=2C

    I cleaned out my 19 Tree Swallow nest boxes yesterday and found 14 full=
 nests (2 not used) and 1 Flying Squirrel nest=3B a pretty good success rat=
io for this location.. One box had 2 deceased chicks=3B one a deceased adul=
t and one a unhatched egg.=20

   The three empty boxes have never been used so will be moved to a more su=
itable location.=20

   Today the first Tree Swallows arrived to check them out and see if my sp=
ring cleaning met their approval.

    The American Kestrel that has been hunting over the field in front of m=
y house for the last week or so has acquired a mate. Maybe I'll tempt them =
to stay around with a new nest box.

    All the best.

                           Fritz McEvoy
