Flicker House - Nesting and Roosting Box

Functional unique opening

I do like this design with the upper half of the front opening because it allows you to easily fill with pine shavings. Yes, it will accommodate a Kestrel sized Van Ert trap. I Drilled pilot holes from the outside of the front. You have to insert the trap by feel, so experience pays off. The nest box also has mesh below the entrance hole for the nestlings to climb out. Thickness of panels is 1/2”. Fit and finish is very good and stainless screws are used. I put a Blink camera in mine and have it on a conduit pole that extends to 10’. I actually decided to get a Flicker box because a Flicker was interested in my Kestrel/Screech Owl Box.
