Coveside Small Wood Duck House
"Dump
nesting" occurs when a number of females lay eggs in a single house, which
sometimes results in clutches with over 70 eggs.
Mississippi State University did a study of Wood Ducks in
an effort to reduce this problem. A smaller nest box was designed and "dump
nesting" was reduced. Although fewer ducklings are fledged from each box, the
survival rate is improved and the cost per fledgling is less. This box comes
with a wire ladder and nesting chips, and the front opens for observation and
cleaning. RANGE: Breeds from British Columbia south to
California, and from Montana east to Nova Scotia, and south to Texas and

Coveside Sparrow Resistant Bluebird House

Kentucky style, slot entrance bluebird house is designed to thwart
sparrows. According to research at the University of

bluebirds don't seem to mind. This box is only 5" deep but if sparrows still
continue to be a problem, a wooden insert is included to reduce the depth even
more. Sparrows rarely use the 3-1/2" depth, but bluebirds will still occupy
it. RANGE: Breeds east of the Rockies from southeastern
Canada to Gulf of Mexico. Winters in southern part of breeding range and Mexico.
HABITAT: Enjoys open woodlands, fields and farmlands with
scattered trees. (10"h x 6"w x
