Committee Member Amundsen did a <br /> survey of each house and stated while he couldn't tell how many `hatches' there were during the previous <br /> year, he did have a pretty good idea of what kind of birds used the house last. Variety of birds includes; <br /> Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, Wrens, Starlings and a Hairy Woodpecker. Committee Amundsen also noted <br /> a few issues he found with the houses; <br /> • Some houses are mounted too close to the trees and should be moved fiuther away. <br /> • Squirrels, raccoons, possums and larger birds make the holes larger to enter or to eat the adult or ' <br /> young birds. Wire bafIles could be made and mounted. <br /> • House #20 is missing a door locking screw because the wood is split. <br /> Si�nage for Trails (Seelevl <br /> Committee Member Seeley stated she has talked to Anoka County Staff regarding trail signage, but there <br /> was nothing to present at this time.
