Good information DrLuke my huts are out actually on the water probably 30' from the shoreline, tons of oak trees, starlings are my biggest concern if they are a problem, I have never seen any around my place till this past spring I have seen them nesting in at least a couple of the boxes, what can a person do about them? I am not around there much and the pond is big, getting close enough to waste a couple would be pretty hard to do. TIA
Starlings are the pits, and there is no easy fix I know of. I live right next to my pond and can spot them right away. As a funny coincidence, I know the exact yardage to each box (as well as the perfect hold with my Benjamin Discovery .177 PCP pellet rifle). Lead poisoning is very effective, when delivered with accuracy. :-)
