Enclosed in this post are a couple of pictures of the plain bird houses and butterfly houses projects from a few months ago. The larger bird house on the left is only about 1/3 of the way done. I haven't decided what I'd like to put on this one, and until I do, it will just sit and wait.
However, I decided to go a bit "whimsical" with the bird bank and just couldn't put my brush down when it came to the butterfly house. Of our 8 acres there is a very small area where the butterflies congregate, but the variety of colors on these amazing creatures is inspiring.
There has also been a huge movement in our area to try to bring back the bluebird. At the moment I am looking to find a good set of plans to make several to put on our acreage. If any of you have found plans that will build a shelter for bluebirds that withstands temperatures down to -30 degrees, please send them my way - won't you?
Thanks much!
