The Nestbox for the Prothonotary Warbler is constructed with Red Cedar. Wood stock is rough-cut on both sides so birds can grip interior and exterior surfaces.
It has a 5" by 5" floor, 6" inside ceiling, 1 1/8" diameter entrance hole located 5" above the floor.
Ventilation openings are in the floor and under the roof. Although some experts disagree with the notion that ventilation openings are needed at all. Please refer to this article for further information. This may also depend on location of nest box, exposure to direct sun as well as material used to build the nest box.
Hinged roof provides easy access for monitoring and cleaning. Shutter hooks secure roof in closed position. Assembled with corrosion resistant screws. Pilot holes in both primary and secondary work pieces makes for easy assembly with screwdriver in minutes.

Remove the nest box in late summer or fall after the brood rearing seasons are over. Clean thoroughly and repair for the next season.
