As an update on my ducking experience, I have a total of six duck houses out, two duckhuts, 2 made from 8" pvc pipe and 2 made from hollow logs, and I have ducks nesting in 3 of them, have seen the hen going into them and the drake floating around outside. one of each kind of house I have is being used, starlings in two more and tree swallows in a third.
So I still dont know which type of house they prefer but I dont care, just tickled that they are being used. Happy Birthday! I have wood ducks most years, but they use dead trees. Bob L advised me not to cut down every dead tree, and now I know why.

I just learned that myself Anthropic, there is an unbelievable amount of bird and nesting activity in those old trees, not to mention bald eagles and such that seem to prefer a dead limb to stand on versus a live tree. I have flooded timber around the back end of the lake and they are loving it.
All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
