Hi Fritz,
It's great to see swallow breeding success. I was wondering if you provide =
feathers for the swallows and if not, what kind of feather content you are =
seeing in the boxes you clean out?
All the best,
Lance

Subject: EXTERNAL: [NatureNS] Swallow box results 2015
Hi all,
I finished cleaning out my swallow boxes and observing how many of them=
were used in 2015. The results were down a bit based on 2012-2014 results.=
I'm not sure if that's because of the late spring last year or other Tree =
Swallow related issues.
I added 6 new boxes in 2015 bringing the new total to 30. I also replac=
ed some of the older boxes and repaired others. The 2015 results were:
15 - boxes with nests and breeding evidence (one nest is probably from 2014=
, as one box wasn't cleaned last season because it contained a live Flying =
Squirrel)
1 - box with partial nest (no feathers or breeding evidence)
14 - empty boxes
Seven of the boxes had squirrel nests/roosts; some in boxes without nes=
ts others on top on Tree Swallow nests. No squirrels were found. The 2015 r=
esults were:
2 Flying Squirrel nests in empty boxes
3 partial Flying Squirrel nests in empty boxes
2 Red Squirrel nests on top of successful Tree Swallow nests
3 successful nests contained unhatched eggs (1 with 1 egg; 1 with 2 eggs an=
d 1 with 3 eggs).
The only mystery was in the box I had left uncleaned from last season =
because it had a live Flying Squirrel in it. I thought I had seen a Flying =
Squirrel nest on top of a Tree Swallow nest in the box but when I checked i=
t today the box contained only the Tree Swallow nest. I must have just assu=
med there was a Flying Squirrel nest in the box, but who knows. All the bes=
t.
