Brettski,

I agree that the whole point of putting up the boxes is to increase the bird population and not to feed the racoons.

I mention the boxes I've seen as an example of what allot of people there are doing. The boxes are very common now and seem to be all over the place. It could be that I never looked before, but when I did start looking, I saw them.

Now that I'm in Texas, I don't have access to good duck hunting like I did there, so it's not been a priority. But I'd love to do what I can to improve the habitat and have more wood ducks.

Currently they are in my creek and we can see them flying up and down the creek late in the evening. They must be nesting in the trees someplace, but who knows how many eggs are lost to predation?

I'm looking forward to see how your boxes look when you mount them. Maybe I'll change my mind about the poles.

Thanks,
Eddie

It's not how many ideas you have, but how many you make happen.

3/4 and 4 acre ponds.
