Eastern Bluebird Trail at Chinn Park - 2010 Nesting Boxes
Volunteers monitor and record information about activity in each of the 12 nesting boxes included in the Chinn Park Bluebird Trail. Volunteers follow a protocol to ensure the birds nesting in the boxes are not disturbed.
Nesting boxes are more visible to predators than natural cavities so some extra precautions are in order. Walking up to the nesting box leaves a scent that can attract predators, noise and rapid movements can startle birds.
As shown below, many of the nesting boxes are located near public areas. We appreciate your help to make sure the Bluebirds and other cavity nesters using these boxes to raise their young are not disturbed.
