Bluebird houses which will be erected in Stanley and Goderich Townships. Shown here looking at
the houses are, left to right, Harvey MacDougall, of Bayfield, who has stirred up a great deal of
interest in bluebirds, Mrs. Betty Burch, of Bayfield, another bluebird fan, Dan Wilson, technical
adviser with the S. W. E. E. P. program, Jim Rowatt, S, W.E.E. P. supervisor, Philip DuBoulay, of

Plan to restore bluebirds
(by Harvey MacDougall, for
the Bayfield Area Bluebird Soc-
iety)
Many have called the Blue-
bird America's most beautiful
bird. With its lovely soft blue
back and its rusty throat and
breast, the male is a stirring
sight. The female, though not
so brilliant, is beautiful, too.
A generation ago these lovely
song birds flourished throughout
Ontario. In many parts of the
province there isn't a single
pair nesting any more. The
passing of the rail fences, wood-
en posts and old orchard trees
with their knot holes have left
few nesting cavities for the
bluebirds. The starlings have
taken over most that are still
available,
Fortunately bluebirds will
readily accept properly built
and placed boxes. Those put up

near Bayfield have brought
gratifying results. Bill Wiser,
of Goderich, had excellent
results last year from boxes put
out, mostly in the Dungannon
area,
In 1969 Philip and Greta Du
Bouley, of Bayfield found a
pair of bluebirds on the 20th

build houses
The North and South Crews of
the Ausable-Bayfield SWEEP
Program (Students Working in
an Environmental Enhancement
Program) have, at the request
of Harvey MacDougall from
Bayfield, completed the con-
struction of 100 Bluebird houses.
Mr. MacDougall, a member
of the Bayfield Area Bluebird
Society, has a very keen inter-
est in preserving Bluebirds. He
and other members of the Soc-
iety have been placing Bluebird
houses throughout the Stanley
Township area with the return
of some Bluebirds.
Mr. MacDougall requested
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. Dan Wil-
son, a SWEEP Technical Ass-
istant, along with two Sweepers,
are going to assist Mr. Mac-
Dougall in the placement of
these Bluebird 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, sponsor-
ed by the Ministry of Natural
Resources, is in its third sum-
mer.

had nested in a hollow cedar
post at the back of David
Steckle's farm. They raised
young in 1970 and 1971 but since
then seem to have abandoned
this site.
At that time we knew of no
other nestings in this area. But
last spring Doug Gemeinhardt
found a pair nesting in a hollow
post near his home in Bayfield.
We would be glad to hear of
any other nestings in our area.
