Abstract:

Not all birds built nests in trees or bushes. Many are satisfied with a hole in a tree trunk. Holes have advantages. They offer more protection from predators, more shelter from the weather, and building skills are not required. Among cavity- dwelling birds are the kestrel, wood duck, belted king fisher, common flicker, and various songbirds.
