BARRIE, ONT Clearview Township and provincial police are hoping to find the person(s) responsible for destroying several bird nesting boxes occupied by Tree Swallows at the Stayner EcoPark over the May long weekend. The deceased Tree Swallows were located within the vicinity of the blown-up birdhouses, the township said. Due to nesting season, most of the bird boxes were inhabited. Police say someone deliberately set off fireworks in the nesting boxes and in a portable washroom on the property. The Nature League volunteers donated $8,000 to develop the EcoPark in 2015, including building and installing the birdhouses. The township said the EcoPark is home to over 200 different species of birds.
