Wood duck houses!
A member of the MNO family, his kids made me some wood duck houses at a DU event. It was such a nice day out, I installed them out on the pond! A big thanks to G's kids for making them for me!

Re: Wood duck houses!
i'm not complaining. been thinking of putting a couple more up. not sure the ones the flying rodents where good enough anymore for the ducks anyway.

just curious............ does the entrance towards the wood duck houses need to be free and clear of branches?????

Re: Wood duck houses!
Not sure, I trimmed the ones around these. The last duck houses I had, were on stakes out in the pond. These are the first ones I ever mounted to a tree.
