I have committed to building 100 kestrel boxes this year for a new study area in Southeast PA. I plan to use Art Gingert's nestbox design. I would like to read the Nest Box Characteristics study, or at least its conclusions/recommendations. Would anyone know where I can access this info? Suggestions are most welcome on nestbox design, installation, etc. I am a newby.
May we ask what nest box characteristics study are you referring to? If we have it, we'll be more than happy to provide it, but we're not sure what you're referencing.
Good luck with the new study area, and welcome to the American Kestrel Partnership! We look forward to seeing your data. As a tip for the future, if you email our staff directly at kestrelpartnership@peregrinefund.org you'll receive a much prompter response, as we monitor that account more frequently than this forum.
