Hi all,

We are looking for buildings to place Barn Owl nest boxes on. At the
moment we (members of CARRI). The Colorado Avian Research and
Rehabilitation Institute in Estes Park, have placed 10 nest boxes for
Barn Owls, with great success. We have 6 of the 10 boxes occupied with
families of Barn Owls

At this time we would like the boxes to be placed between Longmont and
Fort Collins, just so we can have CARRI volunteers check them with out
having to travel too far. As this project grows we will, hopefully have
nest boxes all over the state.

At this time, we have two boxes that need to be placed. You may think
that this is a bit late for Barn Owls to nest, but it is not. Last year
we had two families raise young starting in June.

If you look at the CARRI webiste www.carriep.org/our-research/ and
scroll down to the Barn Owl photos, you will see photos of the type of
habitat that Barn Owls are using in Northern Colorado.

We are also interested in areas that would have WiFi access so we can
place live cameras on the nest boxes.

If you have questions or think you know of areas where the nest boxes
could be placed, e-mail me.

Thank You,
Scott Rashid
Director of CARRI
Estes Park
