How to Build a Wood Duck Box - Step by Step

In this video, we go step-by-step to teach you how to build your own wood duck box. Also known as nesting boxes, they provide a safe and inviting environment for these ducks and increase your chances of repeated nesting in the future.
Wood ducks, buffleheads, barrow's goldeneyes, common goldeneyes, hooded mergansers, and common mergansers are all cavity-nesting ducks. These ducks build nests in abandoned woodpecker holes or natural tree cavities caused by disease, fire, or lightning. They will also use a constructed nesting box. Don't have wood ducks in your area? A duck box may even attract other cavity-nesting birds such as kestrels, tree swallows, great crested flycatchers, or screech owls.

[@OG_Ghost]

What about tools and equipment needed for mounting it? I know you couldn’t mount to trees so what would you suggest? Also what do you suggest doing to protect the box from predators? What predator guards do you suggest? Thanks!
