in October. bluebirds lay four or
five eggs at a time - rarely six -
and tend to stay in areas outside
city limits where food supply is
at a maximum.
They feed primarily in insects
and thus benefit farmers since they
consume number of bugs injurious
to crops.
"We've lost an animal every
10 years through extinction and we
don't want to lose the bluebird
too ," Mr. MacNay concludes.

the biolog.ist says.
He began work with eastern
bluebirds following his retirement
from the government in 1966.

Made some nesting boxes and set
them up in areas I thought they
might inhabit ," iV1r. MacNay says.
The first cotple of years brought
no results - eastern bluebirds were
either avoiding the area or they
didn't know about Mr. MacNay's
special tourist facilities.
Finally , in' the third year , two
pairs of the birds arrived. The •
next year , Mr. MacNay installed
more houses in the area and a blue
bluebird community began.
During the summer of 1973, the
retired biologist counted 150 eggs
in nesting boxes set' up, between
Constance Bay and South March.
He points out migratory birds tend
to return to 'desirable nesting areas
year after year, thus improving
chances of 'tabulating numbers.
The wooden hand-made bird
house's are fashioned in the base-
ments and woodworking rooms
of the New Horizons members.
They are built according to a'
design used in the eastern U.S. -
boxes are long and deep•like a
hollow tree or post with small
round entry holes and adequate
ventilating areas.
The front of the houses are
moveable to perinit the bird-. •
watcher to check on feathered
broodsand houseclean after the
tenants vacate.
Red squirrels also seem to pref-
er the luxurious dwellings to the
more rugged life in hollow trees,
says Mr. MacNay.
He remembers tapping on one
of his boxes before a routine
summertime check last year. 'He
was not greeted by a mother blue
bird , but, received a scolding from'
a very pregnant squirrel in the pro•
cess of setting up housekeeping.
The poor lady was so over-burden -
ed by her unborn youngsters she
couldn't squeeze out the small

Mr. MacNay allowed her to stay
but he usually isn't so generous
to unwelcome intruders.
Mr. 1VlacNay says all the boxes
are not occupied by bluebirds
Tree Swallows are chief competi-
tors for the comfortable shelters.
• Hazards to breeding ,include •
poorly ventilated houses, cats ,
hawks, children and,
squirrels which tend to raid nests.
Mr. MacNay enjoys his hobby.
He estimates he drives about 55
miles every two or three weeks
in the summer when the bluebirds‘
are nesting. The birds' homes are
ready for their arrival in early
April since their landlord cleans
