Why monitor bluebird boxes?

Monitoring bluebird boxes allows conservationists, bird enthusiasts, and researchers to gather valuable data on nesting success and population health of bluebirds. Bluebirds are cavity nesters, however they aren’t the only one and monitoring boxes allows us to gain insight on the predators and competitors that bluebirds are facing at their nests. Bluebirds are tolerant of human presence and proper monitoring does not disrupt the nest. Beyond helping with science, it is a rewarding and fulfilling way to connect with nature!
