Love bluebirds!

April brings a welcome sight across North Carolina as bluebirds return and begin searching for places to nest. Their bright color and gentle presence add something special to backyards, but they also need the right conditions to settle in.

Peterson Bluebird breeding box.

This is the closest if not the same design that Mr. Peterson came up with. 2x4 frame construction, cedar 5/8 thick walls, oversized slanted roof, vented top and bottom of box. This is a large bluebird box

Google search result, this is accurate from what I have researched.
The Peterson bluebird nest box was developed in the 1960s by Dick and Vi Peterson of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Dick Peterson, a self-taught naturalist and "tinkerer," designed the box to combat the severe decline of Eastern bluebirds, which had lost nearly 90% of their population due to habitat loss and competition from invasive species like starlings.
