Bluebird House
The beautiful Eastern Bluebird population has experienced a rebound due to the efforts of many people who have provided nesting boxes on their private property. This uniquely designed bluebird house is a favored house for bluebirds. It has easy entry and good ventilation. For the bluebirder it is easy to monitor and to open for cleaning. Stain or paint the handmade bluebird house to your liking – (made with pine and hardboard wood). No assembly required.

Bat House
The bat houses are made with rough-sawn Maine White Pine. These rough surfaces are what give the bat something to hang onto. They are open at the bottom to avoid birds nesting in them and require no maintenance what so ever. Help cut down mosquito and other bothersome insect populations around your home for one bat will eat hundreds of insects at each nightly feeding.
