Bufflehead Duck Houses
The Bufflehead, with its striking white sides and white patch on its head,
is smaller than most cavity nesting ducks. Dependent on nest boxes, this duck house is
ideal due to the scarcity of holes excavated by a large woodpecker or flicker.
RANGE: Breeds in Alaska east to western
Quebec, and south in mountains to Washington and Montana. Winters in southern U.S.
south to Mexico, Gulf Coast and northern Florida.
HABITAT: Nests on wooded lakes and ponds; winters
mainly on salt bays and estuaries..
Dimensions of Bufflehead Duck Houses: 117 3/4 in. x 9 1/4 in. x 11 in.
Goldeneye Duck Nesting Boxes
Unable to excavate their own cavities, goldeneyes are in constant search for
good nesting sites. With a larger entrance hole than the Wood Duck House, this nesting box comes with
wood chips and a ladder to provide an ideal place for goldeneyes to lay their eggs.
RANGE: Breeds in Alaska and across Canada to Newfoundland
and the Maritime Provinces, south to mountains in Montana and Great Lakes. Winters in much of
U.S., wherever water is open; also in Eurasia.
HABITAT: Breeds on wooded lakes and ponds; winters mainly
on coastal bays and estuaries..
Dimensions of Goldeneye Duck Nesting Boxes: 24 1/4 in. x 11 in. x 13 in.
Common Merganser Duck Houses
This duck house provides a perfect nest box for mergansers that normally nest
in tree cavities. Positioning a duck house on a pole in the open water provides extra protection
from predators. ";
RANGE: Breeds across Canada from eastern Alaska, Manitoba
and Newfoundland south in mountains to California, northern New Mexico, Great Lakes and
northern New England. Winters south to northern Mexico and Georgia; also in Eurasia.
HABITAT: Breeds on wooded rivers and ponds; winters
mainly on lakes and rivers, occasionally on salt water.
Dimensions of Common Merganser Duck Houses: 24 1/4 in. x 11 in. x 13 in.
Wood Duck Houses
This Wood Duck House opens two ways for observation and cleaning, and
has an internal ladder for the duckings to climb out. Mother calls ducklings to the protection
of the open water at age one day.
RANGE: Breeds from British Columbia south to California,
and from Montana east to Nova Scotia, and south to Texas and Florida; absent from Rocky
Mountains and Great Plains. Winters near Pacific Coast north to Washington, and to New Jersey
in East, rarely further north.
HABITAT: Nests beside wooded rivers and ponds. Visits
freshwater marshes in late summer and fall.
Dimensions of Wood Duck Houses: 24 1/4 in. x 11 in. x 15 in.
Small Wood Duck Nesting Box
Dump nesting occurs when a number of females lay eggs in a single wood duck 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 wood duck nest box was
designed and dump nesting was reduced. Although fewer ducklings are fledged from
each wood duck box, the survival rate is improved and the cost per fledgling is less. This wood duck nesting 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 Florida; absent from
Rocky Mountains and Great Plains. Winters near Pacific Coast north to Washington,
and to New Jersey in East, rarely further north.
HABITAT: Nests beside wooded rivers and ponds.
Visits freshwater marshes in late summer and fall.
Dimensions of Small Wood Duck Nesting Box: 17 in. x 7 1/2 in. x 15 in..
