The next phase of the Parrot project was in full swing at Harlingen High School
The students and several teachers all worked together to install two of the nest boxes
The boxes were installed into pipe sleeves so they will be easy to take down for cleaning and inspection

Up Up and Away! The boxes are ready for tenants! The High School is the perfect place to have these nest boxes. There is a reported population of birds here and plenty of "up and coming" ornithologists willing to keep watch!



 That is FIVE areas that the nest boxes are now installed.
 - Rio Hondo Road, Police Station, Paradise RV Park, Elks Club, HRL High School South - 
 FOUR different mounting techniques:  dead palm trunk bundles, live palm trunk mounting, utility pole mounting, and metal freestanding poles.
This should give all of us a good read on which mounting they prefer.
My thanks to all of you who participated in the work needed to make this project a reality.
