Got them up on solid, old utility poles; going to add raccoon guards next trip out. Barred owl house is insulated. The other is a Great Crested Flycatcher house. Not a common bird here but had one nest in a screech owl house a few years ago, and I wanted to offer appropriate housing.
Have you tried any bat houses?
They look really great @Jesse. Good luck with attracting birds. Hopefully they will fill up and be used.
@cathyb I think it would be fun to have a bat house too. I see bats in summer around my house so they have to be roosting around here somewhere.
OMG @David That’s a real throwback pic.
You’re right, a bat house doesn’t really need to be that fancy, unless the Joker or any of those types is lurking somewhere nearby.
That’s cool. I didn’t know they had such a thing in OK. So, did you get to talk to the President? LOL
Bat and Robin houses are on my list!
somewhere I have plans for a bat house - will let you know when I run across them if you would like a copy
hahaha @Jesse gotta have a Robin house if you’re gonna have a Bat house.
There is the Bat Conservation International, that has all kinds of info about bats, and they have plans for a correct type of bat house.
Designing Better Bat Houses - Bat Conservation International
That might be a fun project to do.
