THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 127 
Nesting boxes should be placed not later than April 1st, the fence 
posts about the farm are splendid places, or on the boles of the apple 
trees. In town the best location for boxes is on the side of the house 
up near the eaves and away from prowling cats. 
I find that the English Sparrow will not take a nest box placed 
within reach, but the Bluebirds will use boxes as low as four feet 
from the ground.
