Indian Museum Receives Bird Houses |
|
|
|
Mt .Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner has received a special gift from Eagle Scout Harry Bullock of Troop 23 in North Attleboro, Mass. He and 5 other Scouts built and installed 20 houses for five different bird species: the white breasted nuthatch, tree swallow, screech owl, barred owl and great crested fly catcher. Different sized houses with various-sized entry holes were necessary for these birds. To help prevent diseases from spreading, the houses should be cleaned out annually, so each needed an access panel.
