Yesterday I was out cleaning Blue bird houses. Looking forward to a better brood outcome, because last year Black flies killed a lot of the young. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ty7MD2Z.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/kYBK4mp.jpg)

I am glad you posted this. I need to get mine cleaned out as well and we might have a few days of decent weather this week.

cleaned all of ours out two weekends ago. Had a bunch of them show up already, which triggered me to clean out the houses.
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

Just the basic box like your first pictures. I got the plans from the Idaho forest service web site.
Got them done. Just need to put them up now.
I also have to set up the post that the snipe sits on and "sings" every spring. It just fell over last fall....

I just got done with the second batch of 30 bird houses... I did steal your idea for the pivoting side for cleaning them out on this batch.
There was a trapper in this area that used to put up bluebird houses when he was checking his trapline, and the bluebirds and tree swallows pretty much occupied them all in a year or two.
We have the mountain bluebirds here, and they seem a little more finicky and timid than the western bluebirds I've seen.
