…a repetition of the wren attack without the wren. I don’t know if it pecked my head since my hat may have been a shield. The little guy or gal landed on my hat-covered head, flew off, circled and returned for a second landing. Well, after fifty-four nesting seasons, something new happened for the first time: I was attacked and hit twice by a tiny House Wren. At the end of the season, all data were copied onto Master Data sheets that had columns for data for each nestbox including the box number, species of a nest, initial egg date, number of eggs, number hatched, number fledged, and reasons and comments. Data was then transferred from the data pad to the box data sheets, one sheet for each trail box. Data was then transferred to the trail data sheet that had 25 rows, one row for each box. The first was the trail data pad that recorded data from boxes in the field. At the beginning of the 1968 season, I started to design four paper form sheets that make it simple to record trail data and summerize and analyze nest histories.

Also, some of my first boxes in 1968 also raised House Wrens.Īt the conclusion of the 2021 season, and during the last 54 seasons, my boxes have raised 12,103 bluebirds and 12,506 House Wrens. I enjoyed watching House Sparrows and House Wrens going in and out of my creations, but I had mounted my boxes too high on the trees for monitoring to be practical.ĭuring my first year of teaching ninth-grade physical science, a neighbor lent me an article that promoted bluebird conservation and I launched my life-long hobby of bluebird trail conservation that resulted with me seeing my first bluebirds fly from their boxes when I was 23 years old.
