nest box MONITORING
CROOKED RIVER NATIONAL GRASSLAND NEST BOX TRAIL

In a cooperative agreement with United States Forest Service (USFS), Friends and Neighbors of the Deschutes Canyon Area installed three American kestrel (Falco sparverius) and six mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides) nest boxes on Crooked River National Grassland near Crooked River Ranch in early 2018. All but one of these nest boxes are located on "The Peninsula."
In the past four years, American kestrels, mountain bluebirds, and ash-throated flycatchers have successfully nested in these boxes. We offer guided hikes on the nest box trail in May and June. Participants can help open boxes and record findings.
If you would like to help with National Grassland nest box monitoring in the upcoming nesting season, please contact Diane Randgaard at fansofdeschutes@gmail.com. Whether you are new to birding or a seasoned expert, it would be great to have your help with monitoring the National Grassland Nest Box Trail!
