Book Description

1992

For everyone who enjoys attracting wildlife to their backyard, farm, woodlot, or lakeshore home, Woodworking for Wildlife is the perfect resource. With all the latest information on how to attract everything from bluebirds, chickadees, purple martins, and wood ducks to bumblebees, toads, owls, and woodpeckers, the book features thirty designs for nest boxes and nest platforms that will accommodate forty-six species of wildlife. It provides easy-to-follow diagrams for cutting out and assembling the nest boxes, accompanied by over three hundred beautiful color photographs.

Carrol L. Henderson has dramatically improved and expanded the book with the best techniques for building, placing, and managing nest boxes. He provides new information on how to eliminate predation on nest boxes by raccoons and cats, as well as how to reduce competition from exotic species such as house sparrows and starlings. The book also includes new designs for houses for flickers, great crested flycatchers, toads, bumblebees, buffleheads, and purple martins.

Woodworking for Wildlife is a great reference for backyard wildlife enthusiasts, conservationists, youth group leaders, teachers, woodworking instructors, and parents and grandparents who are looking for outdoor projects to do with children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Home is Where the Habitat is., March 29, 2000
By 
James D Reznich (Traverse City, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Woodworking for Wildlife: Homes for Birds and Mammals (Spiral-bound)
I'd reccomend this book to anyone wishing to construct homes to attract wildlife and enhance habitat. It is comprehensive with respect to species which nest on platforms and in boxes, and the plans are consise and easy to follow. There are also alternate designs for some species, based on how detailed you wish the construction. I have referenced this book several times over my years owning it, and the 7 or 8 pairs of wood ducks that return to my pond every spring are testament enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for woodworkers, June 30, 2009
My brother, a woodsman from the days when there were woods and with a house full of bird guides and binoculars, says he's learned more about bird habits in here than anywhere else. And, you can buy many of these birdhouses (sources included here) if you don't want to build them. This is one of those books that you can't put down once you start to browse,nor need you be a Minnesotan to benefit from it.
