Get your boxes out early as they come up a lot earlier than most think, and keep cleaning them out when sparrows and other crap birds invade them. Once you know their call you will be able to spot them a lot easier. The males will check out the boxes and then he will hope to lure in a female. Also after they leave after the first brood get the box clean as you will sometimes get 2 in a year. They like open space and room in front of the box so don't hide it in the trees, perfect for the open front yard. Pretty much my favorite bird to watch once you get some renters. Good luck
