[Tweeters] More Western Bluebird Habitat for Whidbey

[Carol Riddell via Tweeters]

Hi Tweets,

I was just reading the most recent newsletter from Whidbey Camano Land Trust. A scouting troop in Coupeville has built and installed 17 Western Bluebird boxes and 17 swallow boxes at the Admiralty Inlet Preserve, a little north of Fort Casey. They are hoping to see some pairs of Western Bluebirds occupy the nest boxes in spring 2025. The county listing project designates Western Bluebird as a code 4 species.

Trail maps are available for Admiralty Inlet Preserve on the Whidbey Camano Land Trust web site. For county listers, this might become an easy way to add Western Bluebird to your Island County list. It’s nice to know that some new sources are increasing nesting habitat for this species on Whidbey.
