Description

About this project Monitoring Eastern Bluebirds and other cavity-nesting birds at the nest boxes around Winnebago County Forest Preserves. Project goal To track which habitats which species prefer and how populations and habits change over time. What participants do Monitoring nest boxes weekly and recording information about what is inside. Monitors are trained in what to look for in the nest boxes placed in around 20 different forest preserves in Winnebago County. We record data on date, temperature, the type of box, what habitat it is in, what species is nesting, how many eggs, how many young, if adults are seen or heard, mortalities, and how many birds fledge. We also are vigilant about removing the nests, eggs, and young of any invasive species, mainly House Sparrows.
