Megan Forester’s Bluebird Project HD.wmv
Placer Land Trust’s Bird Habitat Enhancement Program – Megan Forester’s Silver Award Project 2009-2010 Local Girl Scout Troop 1319 member, Megan Forester, volunteered a year of her time to head up the PLT Bird Habitat Enhancement Project which involves planting and managing trees, shrubs and grasses as well as building and installing nesting boxes for Western bluebird, tree swallow, American kestrel, Western burrowing owl, Ash-Throated flycatcher, wood duck etc. Megan and her family worked hard throughout the nesting season to build, install and monitor bluebird/tree swallow boxes. Their hard work paid off and a total of 178 baby birds were fledged in 2010. Thank you Megan, Deb, Jeff, and Emma!

Put bluebird nest back in box?
If a bluebird nest falls out of the bluebird box (a/k/a birdhouse), is it best to let the birds build a new one (especially if their babies seem to have been eaten by the local cats) or put the nest back in the box? I have secured the door better so that this does not happen again. I had some hay in there for the winter, but they would not lay their eggs until I took it out, and they made their own nest and made it just right. They spent several months making this nest just right. I feel awful that it fell out. My only hope is that the babies flew away?
Is a jaybird a blue jay? We do have one that hangs around. They are beautiful, too, and I could not bring myself to harm one. It wasn’t nice of him to harm the smaller bluebirds’ babies, though. Yes, all the babies were gone, by the way. AND a family member saw a blue jay fly into the birdhouse today.
Bluebirds and Tree Swallows nesting together in paired boxes
Eastern Bluebirds and Tree Swallows often compete for nest boxes, but when they are offered 2 boxes within 10′ – 15′ apart they will often both nest successfully once they settle who gets which box.

I’ve got a bluebird box that bluebirds do attempt to nest in, however, wasps run them out before they lay…
What can I do to keep the wasps from nesting in the box as well? This has happened three years in a row now, and I feel for the bluebirds. Invariably, I find the wasp nest after I notice no more activity by the birds, and even though I remove the wasps, the birds do not come back.
Bluebird house, nesting box, how to mount birdhouse
July 2009, Southern Ontario, Canada. I built this bluebird house and placed it approx. 200 feet from the other nesting box where tree swallows had their nest.
