Cleaning Boxes at Tarrant Park

NABS-style bluebird boxes from Tarrant Park

I took down all 8 boxes in Tarrant Park for cleaning today. Washed them out with hot, soapy water and bleach - then air dried them. They're ready for the birds - just in time for next week's forecast: 70º

Re-installed and re-numbered all of them - by GPS coordinates.
