I am interested in attracting insect-eating birds to a summer property 
in Newfoundland. There are no purple martins on the island, so I think 
my best bets are fly catchers and swallows. The property is in a 
sheltered valley, with lots of brush and some open fields, and some 
mountain ash and larch trees. There are lots of finches and chickedees 
around now (that is this summer past). The insect problem is very bad 
in summer, and I don't want to use chemicals.
Any advice on bird houses or anything else that would attract 
insect-eating birds would be appreciated. I'm also interested in 
getting more dragon flies to hang around, but this probably isn't the 
place to discuss that.
E-mail or post and I'll summarize if there's enough interest.
Thanks,
Janet
