Bluebirds Build Nests in Old Fences Across Avon Lake
The bluebirds nest in holes in old wooden fences now replaced by metal ones. They favor open areas around Avon Lake. Students from diverse backgrounds helped build nests at the French Creek Nature Center and heard a talk from a Lorain County Metro parks biologist. Birds have blue backs and rusty breasts, nest from March to August, hatch in 13 to 16 days, and fledge in 15 to 20 days. The male’s soft church-like call aids identification per the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Division.
