The Nesting Project

Bird house in the shape of a small home on top of a tall pillar, painted bright green

Location: Rosemount Avenue
Date photo taken: 23 November 2019

Missing a few of its original amenities, such as the heated bird bath, this colourful and high tech birdhouse still has loads of curb appeal. Created by local sculptor Alexander Moyle, and funded by the left-over proceeds from a door-to-door fundraising campaign to improve lighting along nearby St. Clair, this art project is a story of local passion and perseverance. I love that a viewing window was included. It's a periscope, providing a view into the main nesting area. To keep things equal, a smaller periscope extends from the side of the house, providing nesting birds with a view down.
