For almost forty years. The small club I belong to have been making and placing wood duck boxes. Up and down the Hudson Valley here in upstate New York. In and around the Hudson River. We have placed over a thousand boxes over the years(Last year sixty boxes this year fifty). With some great success. Great success to me is to see some of these boxes product wood ducks. There is nothing like seeing you helped increased the duck population. Over the years we have failed many times with with these same boxes. But getting ten or more percent out of them is a big success. Some years we have had forty percent other years not so good. But if it was baseball we be in Cooperstown in the hall of fame. My point is you help one wood duck make it.You get five or six or even more. If there was a way to help all the duck population. Like you can help the wood duck and a few others breads. There would be so many birds. That hunting season would be great every year. Spring is just around the corner. Make a few boxes in your spare time. There is really know wrong way. Put two or three together, wood ducks love company. You can make a big change in your wood duck population. View attachment December 2018 photos from Galaxy 1144.jpg
