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.
