Right Bird, Right House: Eastern US: Cornell All About Birds Series

Many species of birds will nest in boxes or other structures that meet each species’ requirements for a safe place to nurture eggs and nestlings. This guide provides the tools for launching a successful nesting structure project, starting with an overview of the 5 general types of nest structures, desirable design features, and the best construction materials for purchased or build-your-own structures. Other sections survey common pests and predators and deterrence strategies, as well as best practices for nest structure placement. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this guide support continued educational activities by The Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Made in the USA.
