Hi All=2C I finished spring cleaning of my Tree Swallow boxes yesterday=
and the results from last year are my best ever. I have 24 boxes=2C at the=
moment=2C in various locations (open field=2C field with some trees=2C old=
orchard and lawn)=3B heights (7'-12') and mounts (live trees=2C power pole=
s=2C and dead trees stuck in the ground). Of the 24 boxes: 2 were empt=
y (one had a Red Squirrel nest and the other was a new box in a new locatio=
n)=3B 3 had partial nests with no sign of breeding and 19 had nests with br=
eeding evidence. Three boxes had Red Squirrel roosts/nests on top of a=
Tree Swallow nests. One box contained a Flying Squirrel nest on top of whi=
ch Tree Swallows had built a nest with breeding evidence. The top of the sw=
allow nest was less than 3 cm. from the box opening. It's the first time I'=
ve seen Tree Swallows do this. There were 4 boxes with unhatched eggs=3B 2 =
with 2 eggs and 2 with 1 egg. No dead chicks were found. Swallows hav=
e yet to arrive this year but I expect them any day now. All the best.
