Homes for bluebirds

Bluebirds who avail themselves of some new housing in North Salem this spring should thank the local Girl Scouts. North Salem’s 5th grade Troop 1053 helped the 1st grade Troop 1046 this month build 10 nest boxes for eastern bluebirds, the official state bird.
Sandy Morrissey, a local bluebird expert (read about her in my colleague Bill Cary’s gardening blog) helped the Scouts. The boxes will be put up in March at various locations in North Salem, such as Outhouse Orchards. Check out the photos, which come courtesy of Morrissey. The information above comes from troop leader Julie Wolfe.
