From coast to coast, in every state and province across North America, homeowners can attract bluebirds to their backyards and nearby open areas to nest. In this book, a select group of “bluebird monitors” reveal how it’s done: how you can attract bluebirds and, once they begin nesting in your backyard, how you can help ensure that nestlings develop and fledge successfully. Rural yards, suburban yards, even some small city yards can host bluebirds. And yards that don’t suit bluebirds may attract chickadees, tree swallows, or one of the other bird species that nest in boxes. This book includes information on all 10 of the cavity-nesting birds most often reported to The Birdhouse Network of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The experts who offer advice in this book are affiliated with the North American Bluebird Society or are participants in The Birdhouse Network of Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Some of the contributors monitor hundreds of boxes and have fledged thousands of

What We Like About This Bird HouseThis is truly an avian masterpiece. Words and photos only partially describe the elegance and presence of the Barrington Bird House. The Barrington is 24 inches in diameter and stands 6 feet 6 inches tall. We think it's the largest commercially manufactured birdhouse anywhere and surely the finest. This bird house is entirely hand-built from select 3/4-inch cypress and finished with four coats of non-toxic white latex paint.The Barrington has 16 separate compartments with 1.5-inch entrance holes suitable for the finest backyard songbirds. The roof is removable for complete access for cleaning. Construction is modular so the unit can be shipped in four boxes and easily assembled with a screwdriver in fifteen minutes. All screws and simple assembly and mounting instructions are included. The Barrington is mounted by simply slipping it over a 4×4-inch ground-mounted post.Available with your choice of working solid copper and brass weathervane or a copper church steeple with hand-soldered seams.
