Eau Galle Cheese Factory

Last fall I noticed 3 bluebird boxes near the parking lot at Eau Galle Cheese factory gift shop.  I asked if we could move them apart so each box has 100-yards of bluebird habitat, and if we could monitor them.  The answer was yes!

Today we went over and cleaned 3 boxes and moved 2 boxes to new locations.  All the boxes are now on metal poles with the entrances facing east.   Here's what we're monitoring:

At the entrance to the store parking lot

EGCF #1

                                                     N    44º 39.183'   elevation 751
                                                     W 091º 58.731'

 At the store parking lot

EGCF #2

                                                      N    44º 39.229'   elevation 786
                                                      W 091º 58.714'

 Using a cheap paint brush to sweep debris from the box

 State Rd 25 by the north "truck" entrance to the factory

EACF #3

                                                       N    44º 39.253'   elevation 786
                                                       W 091º 58.657'
  

This was the original placement of box #3 - too close to the tree and full of old nesting materials.
