[EBB Sightings] Re: Bewick's wrens

Lisa, a quick search on "Bewick's Wrens and nestboxes"
will get you more info than you have time for. Here's
a snippet from Cornell:
"Although many participants in The Birdhouse Network
(TBN) report seeing House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon) or
occasionally Carolina Wrens (Thryothorus ludovicianus)
using their nest boxes, few are even aware of a third
cavity-nesting wren in North America. And 
yet, the Bewick's Wren (Thryomanes bewickii) may be
the one most in need of help from citizen scientists,
given the recent population trends of the species in
the East. Bewick's Wrens readily take to nest boxes
and are still relatively common in many western
states, but they occur in our database only 41 times
in the past three years, with reports from four
states: Texas, Oklahoma, California, and Oregon."
