Bird Boxes and Field Guides

Dyken Pond Center collaborated with the Miller Hill Elementary School and the Rensselaer Plateau Alliance to build blue bird and wood duck nesting boxes. These boxes are available FREE if you are a landowner on the Rensselaer Plateau and have the appropriate habitat for these birds. If you would like a FREE bird box, contact Lisa Hoyt at (518) 658-2055 for more information.
