Install the Bluebird box by late March or early April. Place the box where it will receive some shade during the day. In pasture situations, place the box across the fence from nosy livestock. Clean your box every year after the young have fledged. Inspect you box regularly and consider adding predator guards if necessary.
Wood ducks depend upon forested wetland habitat for food and cover, although marshes are also used.
Breeding range must have trees for nesting cavities and food near permanent freshwater lakes and streams. Brushy boarders are important for nesting and brooding. Swampy areas with cypress and gum are premium for roosting. Bats serve as important pollinators of many food plants as well as provide useful aids for medical research, particularly for the blind. Bats are the only major predator of night-flying insects.
