In this two part series, Outdoorsman and conservationist Andy Komonchak shows us how to make a wood duck breeding box. Wood ducks, Barrow's goldeneyes, common goldeneyes, hooded mergansers, common mergansers and buffleheads are all cavity nesting ducks. They build nests in abandoned woodpecker holes or natural tree cavities caused by disease, fire or lightning. These ducks will also use a constructed nesting box. Here are plans for a nest box that you can build, install and maintain. The design, which is used by the Ducks Unlimited Greenwing program,may even attract other cavity nesting birds such as kestrels, tree swallows, great crested flycatchers or screech owls.
