Harvey filled it up, but the dam wasn't quite finished. A couple of feet added up to the overflow, plus really no rain since Harvey puts it at it current level. And I think a good bit just sunk in as the ground saturated.

Just a matter of time before we get a toad strangler here and fill it to the overflow.

I bought the boxes on Amazon. Woodlink cedar duck house. Great quality. Includes wood shavings. Until I get my house built I am shopless and darn near toolless.

Texas Parks and Wildlife recommends the slick pvc pole. They claim chicken snakes can navigate around the cones.

I hope I have your luck and get some ducks!
