+Jake39 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) The last few years I found more and more odd structures being erected close to the roads I have traveled. As it turns out these little buildings are being erected for the declining "Barn Swallow" populations. With the the removal of old barns and more road culverts being replaced many nesting places have to be relocated. The idea of this Category is to log and photograph these locations to help our barn swallows. Have you seen or wondered what these were for in your travels? Feedback appreciated.

+PISA-caching Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I've never seen anything like that, but they are accepted in the Bird House category. See for example http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WMVH90 Quote Link to comment
+Jake39 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Only looking for the various type of structures/buildings and not "Unique birdhouses" Quote Link to comment
+elyob Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 As PISA-caching noted, they are already being accepted in the aforementioned Waymarking category. Quote Link to comment

+fi67 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Here in Switzerland, they look like this: They have NOT been accepted in Unique Birdhouses. Quote Link to comment
+elyob Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Here in Switzerland, they look like this... They have NOT been accepted in Unique Birdhouses. Why were they not accepted? Quote Link to comment
+fi67 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Here in Switzerland, they look like this... They have NOT been accepted in Unique Birdhouses. Why were they not accepted? I did not keep the denial note. I've been thinking, it was not "unique" enough (and indeed, it is a standard model found in many towns in my area), but maybe it was denied for some technical category requirement. I don't remember. When structures like these as well as the ones posted by Jake39 really can go to Unique Birdhouses then it is redundant, although the are not Unique in the sense of the category description in my opinion.
