Subject: [nnasnet] Re: Spring has Sprung
Which raises a question that I've been wondering about - is it a good thing or
bad thing to clean out bluebird box nesting material, annually or ever? Online
sources seem uncertain and mixed. I cleaned out one (I'm in Santa Fe at the
moment and it's way behind Virginia spring) and the birds didn't seem to like
it - as in, they investigated it but I haven't seen them since.
