My brother, a woodsman from the days when there were woods and with a house full of bird guides and binoculars, says he’s learned more about bird habits in here than anywhere else. And, you can buy many of these birdhouses (sources included here) if you don’t want to build them. This is one of those books that you can’t put down once you start to browse,nor need you be a Minnesotan to benefit from it.

I’d reccomend this book to anyone wishing to construct homes to attract wildlife and enhance habitat. It is comprehensive with respect to species which nest on platforms and in boxes, and the plans are consise and easy to follow. There are also alternate designs for some species, based on how detailed you wish the construction. I have referenced this book several times over my years owning it, and the 7 or 8 pairs of wood ducks that return to my pond every spring are testament enough.
