Subject: [Tweeters] Help keeping HOSP out of Swallow nest box

I've tried the 7/8" by 2" slot method on existing boxes by adding a wood
strip over the entrance hole. This kept the male HOSP out for several days,
but he eventually figured out how to get in. The female was a bit larger,
but after a couple of days of encouragement from the male, she also got in.

I'm currently removing nesting material daily in the hope that this will
discourage them.
