Sandy Morrissey has been putting up bluebird boxes in Westchester County for more than a decade. Eastern Bluebirds have been in serious decline due to a lack of suitable nesting sites. They are cavity nesters; our neat suburban landscapes have eliminated many old trees, with their convenient holes for nesting.
Bluebird boxes have come to the rescue. Sandy has been putting up boxes in suitable landscapes for years. She’s also banded bluebirds and knows the personal history of some of the residents of the boxes she’s provided. She’s enlisted many organizations, like the Girl Scouts, in her quest to find homes for bluebird families.
