Scott, 

Are you looking state-wide?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for locations where we can place nest boxes for American
Kestrels.

American Kestrel numbers have been in decline for several years, due to
predation (mostly by house cats and Coopers Hawks), disease and loss of
nesting sites.

I am the Director of CARRI, www.carriep.org   The Colorado Avian
Research and Rehabilitation Institute and our members have been building
and placing nest boxes for these  tiny falcons for a few years.

So far we have about 80 boxes placed from Arvada to the Wyoming Border
and want to have 200 in  place sooner than later.

Kestrels habitat is open country with some type of pole , tree or
building where the box can be attached to.

Each box is 9x9 x 18 inches deep.  We will be accepting donations for
each box.

If you feel you have the proper habitat and would like to participate in
this project, e-mail me privately.

Thank You,

Scott Rashid
