Spring Nest Box Project

The spring nest box project was a collaboration between the FTCCIS and Friends of Cortes Island Society.  Thirty-eight nest boxes were built by families for violet-green & tree swallows and hairy woodpeckers. One of Cortes’s well-known birders spoke to families about habitat and ecology of these three birds. The nest boxes were erected in multiple places on Cortes Island, inlcluding the Children’s Forest.
