For the Birds- Wood Ducks









Some folks volunteer for Habitat for Humanity-building homes for the less fortunate. Our group does it for a different tenant-Wood Ducks.

They usually nest in hollow trees on or near lakes , streams or ponds. Unfortunately, hollow trees went the same way as two dollar gasoline.

Our duck boxes are better than the originals. If a "Bird Real Estate Agent" were listing these, the ad would probably read: Beautiful single located on the water with breathtaking views. An oval entrance opens to a spacious .9 square foot family room-perfect for starting your first brood. You and the young ones will feel secure with a waterproof vinyl roof plus the added precaution of several holes drilled in the basement allowing any unwanted liquid to escape. When the young ones are ready to "test their wings", you will really appreciate the wire mesh "ladder" tacked from basement to entrance-enabling the pitter patter of climbing feet.
Act now as the nesting season is fast approaching. And, most important, remember this is our all inclusive model-made for living, laying, hatching, and rearing--Luxury Living in a Lovely Location.
