Spring thaw is right around the corner!!
Now is a great opportunity to finish up some winter projects and get ready for nicer weather and some great birding.
If you are thinking about adding a bluebird box to your property, now is a great time to get it installed. Birds are slowly moving around and starting to inspect locations for nests this season.
If you have nest boxes up already, now is the time to get them cleaned out and ready for the next generation of bluebirds! No need to add material, simply remove any old nesting material or caches that rodents may have left for winter.
Keep an eye out for bi-weekly bird/habitat tips!
