I have constructed several hundred Peterson Blue Bird houses in my time. There were always construction scraps to turn into something useful. Waste not and want not. The northwest corner of King Township north of Toronto and the Greenbelt has most of those boxes but there are still a hundred within the Singleton Sanctuary. All varieties of birds enjoy the Peterson Blue Birdhouse design. (https://www.familyhandyman.com/project/build-a-bluebird-house/) When my workshop was functional, there would be twenty or more Peterson boxes in construction. There were jigs set up to make every cut perfect. The reward was to see several broods emerge from each Peterson Blue Birdhouse every summer. With climate change, the bluebirds are now year-round residents at Singleton Lake and seem to survive on the cones of red cedars. Bluebirds have been known to live for a decade so the birds that inhabit the sanctuary know us well.
Blue Bird is supposed to be one word but the two words in the title e...

Kind of you Pitre! I have built hundreds of Peterson Blue Bird houses and the effort has paid off… both for the birds and my art.

Love the rich colors Phil and the light catching of the eye. We too have put many houses out over the years...in 2021 and 2022 we had no Bluebirds show up on the acreage to nest...then last summer were rejoicing at having 2 pairs nest here again! Then on nesting box was torn into during he night by Raccoons...ripped the roof off far enough to extract the entire nest. Thankfully the other nest succeeded. I've noticed many changes in recent years here. Certain birds that were "always" present are no more...and the weather is no longer what it was either...we keep hanging on and trying to lend a hand in any tiny efforts we can muster. Hoping for our Bluebirds to return again this spring. Thank you for lifting our spirits!

Thank you Bruce...I share your concerns and observations... and continue to build and erect bird houses. The environment is changing faster than we could have ever imagined. The summer birds have already returned to Singleton (March 1st), The natural synchronization between birds, broods, bugs, trees (all of the natural world) is likely to be out of step but no one really knows how this will all play out. The climate has not been here before while humans were on the planet. Keep painting and trying to make a difference my friend.
