Some of our monitors prefer the tried-and-true method of using a paper monitoring form in the field. 

Click here for our club's paper monitor form, a printable page which is the official record sheet for tracking weekly activity in each nest box throughout the season. Each line represents one visit to a single box, helping us maintain consistent, accurate data that can later be entered into the club’s shared digital spreadsheet.

Accurate field notes are the foundation of our bluebird monitoring program as they help us understand how well our boxes are performing, identify trends, and make improvements that protect and support Eastern Bluebirds and other cavity-nesting species.
