2-Holed Boxes —  An Alternative to Removing Problem Boxes

Instead of removing boxes from House Sparrow areas, monitors might consider building a box with an escape hole.  The web page below provides information and links on how to build the box and monitoring tips.  It includes differently configured test sites showing what works, what doesn't work, and what monitors can expect to see at tough sites as Bluebirds learn they can outcompete House Sparrows.
