About Medlock Ames - At Bell Mountain Ranch, Barn Owls are encouraged with nest boxes, and raptors with perches, making rodents much less of a problem. Western Bluebirds' nest boxes were recently installed with the intention of keeping Sharpshooter numbers down.
Besides boxes and perches providing this structural habitat, 80% of the land is conserved in vegetative habitat—native oak woodlands, grasslands, and chaparral—which supports the other food birds need to eat during nesting season.
