It’s always a thrill when a pair of the intended bird species takes up residence in a nest box that you’ve built. Regularly observing the comings and goings of the parents and eventually the fledglings offers unique insights into the life history of the species during the breeding season. Getting to this rewarding point requires lots of careful planning and know-how. To provide you with the essentials for embarking on a successful nesting structure project, we’ve created this portable reference. It includes an overview of general types of nest structures, desirable design features of a nest box, and the best construction materials for purchased or build-your-own structures. There are also handy tips for deterring common pests and predators, as well as choosing the right location for your nest boxes. Profiles of 24 native North American species offer useful information about potential target birds. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific companion for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and homeowners who want to make the right choices for attracting birds to nest boxes. Made in the USA.
