Saw a Northern Harrier the other day!
Anyone have any insight on Wood Duck boxes? I want to put one in a swamply little pond behind school with my kids. Was thinking of drilling through the ice and driving a cedar post down into the muck to mount it on. Would it be better to mount it on a tree? Thx.

Wood ducks prefer it high up in a tree at around 15 feet up
saw a flick on the wood duck man.....that's all he does

he floor should be 10 x 10 inches wide, with a frontal depth of cavity at 21 inches. The height of the entry holes should run 16 inches with a diameter of 4 inches. If the box is close to the water’s edge it should be around 5 feet above it, or if over land, allow a height of around 15 feet.
