WOOD DUCK BOX CONSTRUCTION AND MOUNTING . By Fred Akers Photo by Woodward Several North American duck species have biological breeding behavior that requires natural tree cavities for nesting, similar to woodpeckers, owls, and cavity nesting songbirds like bluebirds, chickadees and tree swallows. These cavity nesting ducks have claws and feet capable of perching and nesting in trees, and include Wood Duck, Bufflehead, Common & Barrow's Goldeneye, and Common & Hooded Merganser. Cavity nesting ducks cannot excavate their own tree holes, which means they are totally dependant on large natural holes in trees or holes made by other birds and animals.
