A few weeks before spring migration really starts to ramp up, a group of land trust members visited West Penjajawoc Grasslands on Saturday morning to clean and inspect the bird houses.
We found that six of the nest boxes were used by Tree Swallows last year. This is great news. Even though these nest boxes were installed with bluebirds in mind, Tree Swallow numbers across the continent are trending downward, while the opposite is actually true for Eastern Bluebirds. Paper wasps had occupied another one of the nest boxes and only a handful of the boxes went unused last year. Additional highlights from the windy morning include the discovery of a relatively new beaver lodge, a porcupine feeding out on the grasslands, and an immature Bald Eagle soaring high above Penjajawoc Marsh.
