Pee Wee Reports

Nest Box Day at Spring Lake, March 29
We put up six bluebird boxes. We filled my box up with wood chips for a woodpecker to find. We looked at more old bluebird boxes and John climbed a ladder to loosen the wires around one of the trees. Jim showed us an "exploding" bird box. He wanted us to see how not to make a box! We learned to put the boxes 10-12 feet up high on the east side of a tree. This year's boxes are special because they have a predator guard to keep out snakes and a "ladder" inside for baby birds to climb.

Anna, Sarah, and I liked making the boxes and watching John and Jim put up the bird boxes! We can't wait to go back to see if the birds are using them. We want to put up a bird box in our yard, too.
