[cayugabirds-l] Bluebird box offset

2016-06-27 Thread Richard Tkachuck
I am part of a group that wants to put up bluebird boxes in Fillmore Glen
State Park. The question arose as to how far the boxes should be away from
the wooded areas that edge the large lawns. The idea was that predators
would have more success if the boxes were to close to the edge of the
woods. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
