HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1973-08-16, Page 18Hope to attract
more bluebirds
The north and south crews of
the AusabIe-Bayfield SW EE T'
program (Students Working in an
Environmental Enhancement
Program) have recently com-
pleted construction of 100
bluebird houses at the request of
Harvey MacDougall, Bayfield,
Mr. MacDougall, a member of
the )3 ayfield Area Bluebird
Society has a very keen interest
in preserving bluebirds, He
himself has built well over 100
houses for the birds, and has been
experimenting with various
construction materials. lie and
other members of the society
have been placing the bird houses
throughout the Stanley Township
area with the return of some
bluebirds.
Mr. MacDougall requ4Sted that
SWEEP construct more bluebird
houses and place them
throughout the area south of
Bayfield and north of Exeter with
the hope that still more bluebirds
will return.
Specifically, they hope to locate
the houses east from highway 21
on the Stanley-Hay boundary to
Kippen, on the next sideroad
north and from highway 4 back to
21.
They plan to break the houses
into three "trails" of 30 to 40
boxes each to enable servicing
and checking the boxes in spring
and fall and during the nesting
season.
The houses will be put up on
fence posts (with the permission
of area farmers) away from the
trees and forests if possible and
away from barns or other areas
which attract sparrows. These
latter birds will often take over
bluebird houses, and in some
areas, have completely
discouraged bluebirds in the
area,
In addition the passing of the
old rail fences, wooden posts and
orchard trees with their wood-
pecker holes have left few
cavities for bluebirds to nest in.
Dan Wilson, a SWEEP
technical assistant, along with
two SWEEPERS, are going to
assist Mr. MacDougall in the
placement of the houses. This
project was one of SWEEP's
"rainy day projects" for the
crews when they are unable to
work out-of-doors.
The SWEEP program, spon-
sored by the Ministry of Natural
Resources, is in its third sum-
mer.
