Description

A visit to almost any home or garden center presents birders with a lot of cute and colorful contraptions that are sold as bird homes. But the fact is, many of these products provide anything but a protected refuge for your feathered friends.

 

Produced in association with the National Audubon Society, Audubon Birdhouse Book explains how to build and place functional DIY bird homes that are protected and appropriate for more than 20 classic North American species, from wrens to raptors. Each of the easy-to-build boxes and shelves within is accompanied by cut lists, specially created line diagrams, and step by step photography, making the projects accessible to those with even the most rudimentary woodworking skills. In addition, this practical and beautifully presented guide is packed with color photography and information about the bird species covered—including titmice, chickadees, nuthatches, phoebes, swallows, waterfowl, and even kestrels and owls—to help the reader properly place and deal with the homes to draw birds. And because these projects are the product of years of experience and field-testing, you’ll be able to make sure you’re getting the most productive advice regarding proper design, protected construction materials, and correct home placement to mitigate exposure to elements, pests, and predators. In spite of everything, beyond the birdhouses, you’ll find out how you’ll be able to contribute to the larger birding community and even improve your birding experience with the aid of new technologies.
