Wood Duck Nest Box Plans

Wood Ducks are found in eastern North America from southern Canada to the southern coast of the United States. They are also found along parts of North America's West Coast. Woodland streams or pools, forest bottomlands, river valleys, swamps, marshes, lakes, and creeks are all typical Wood Duck habitat. A Wood Duck's nest is typically found 3 to 60 feet off the ground in a natural hole in the trunk or limb of a large tree. Nests are also found in old woodpecker holes and rarely in buildings such as barns. Wood Ducks will readily and successfully use nest boxes.
