Everybirdy Deserves a Home!

Join NCC as we install bird houses for Tree Swallows and Mountain Bluebirds at our Edenwold property! Tree swallow populations have declined as a result of changes in climate and a decrease in their main food source; insects, due to the use of pesticides. Mountain Bluebird populations have recently rebounded after a large population decline in the early 1900’s when they suffered from habitat loss and were being outcompeted by exotic birds that were brought over from Europe. However, thanks to widespread nest box building efforts across North America, populations are rebounding in most areas.

The use of nest boxes has been shown to help boost the populations of these two bird species. Come help us contribute to their continued conservation efforts, enjoy a beautiful property, and take in a presentation about Mountain Bluebirds and their bumpy road to recovery! Because everybirdy deserves a home!
