Last week I watched a work crew replace many of the bird houses located on Windermere Basin near the Beach cutoff. A note on the side of the new boxes state that these are part of a research project being done by Environment Canada, I will see if I can get some info on the project.

A couple pictures from 2012 showing the old boxes and a tenant of one, looks like a Tree Finch.

I contacted Environment Canada about the bird study project after seeing more of the same bird boxes at Globe Park, Mahony Park and on the fence near AIM/Kenny U Pull..
Glenn from EC sent us some info;

Attached are several papers that our group has published using data collected as part of either the national monitoring project that utilizes Starlings, or the local project studying the health of Tree Swallows at Windermere Basin.
