Index of Subjects That is great info, June. Thanks. Makes a wonderful school project, or a project for a Young Naturalists Club. I see so many bird houses with an inappropriately large opening and no drainage holes. In West Advocate a few years ago, the landowners put popsicle sticks across the bottom of the hole making it more appealing to EABL and Swallows, and too small for starlings and squirrels.
