We posted the nest boxes up on Western Light when i was the steward for the
Brier island Nature Preserve. Went into the classroom and the kids built
them and we put them up. That has been about 5 years ago now. The first year
we put them up the nesting box by the woodside cemetary (Felicia's Box) had
a pair that sucessfully nested!
