Hey guys,
Starting a project at work to be a little more Environment and Wildlife friendly...
One idea was to mount various types of birdhouses around the property to provide homes for those wonderful insect eating friends (and maybe Bats too...)
So... I would appreciate suggestions on where I can get tried and true plans for building houses for the various flavors of birds that we see in NC and SC...
I am thinking:
Wrens and Chicadees are pretty common, and their small hole boxes should be pretty simple
Bluebird and songbird boxes too
Purple martin/swallow boxes -- we have plenty of them living up in the beams... and want them to go outside
Also.. We have a pond, and have a family of geese that returns yearly. There was some interest in making up a nesting platform for Geese and maybe a Duck box or two.
I am probably going to head this up, so I would appreciate any info you care to share.
Thanks
John
