If I'm at all in doubt or if the box is near moving water, it doesn't get checked either.<br /><br />It's fun to see what shows up in the boxes, piecing together the puzzle of what has taken place in each one.

However, with the relatively mild winter, it is not safe! Hopefully later on it will be cold enough to form some good ice, otherwise the boxes will not get cleaned. It is interesting what is in the boxes. Sometimes we have found live Screech owls, dead Screech owls, remains of Flying Squirrels, or other meaty morsels cached by owls.Blake A.

I would like to put out some duck boxes and maybe this will be the year an American Kestrel nests in the box we build... fingers crossed. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
