Subject: [sd-birds] Nest box maintenance
I'm at my mom's in Davison county and cleaning out all the big nest boxes.
One wood duck box had it's first egg. Another obviously was used last year.
Found screech pellets in one of their boxes. Flickers nested in another
box. Squirrels took over one and had sleeping babies. I wanted to dump the
squirrels but left them. They nested in this box last year and the pups
would sleep on the roof.
