5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding info on entrance holes and mounting heights., May 5, 1999
I picked this up, down in Cape May, New Jersey one summer day to read at the beach. Realized there was a lot of info and it was researched and well written for the weekend do it your selfer, also good for Scouts etc. A really good referance book that every library or bird enthusieists should have. Well worth the $2.00. The drawings are done quite well, helps you buy materials to save money. The only thing really missing is nails and or screws that will be required but thats' not really bad as the hobbyists should know all ready.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Little Technical Reference for Birdhouse Builders, June 12, 2000
By Al the Pal "Al the Pal" (The Fruited Plain, United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book is short and to the point, well researched and documented. There is a bibliography in the back that is helpful for further reading.

The plans in this book are for simple, unadorned, basic shelter for birds. Even if you want to build fancy "designer" birdhouses, you need this book to discover the entrance size, location and interior requirements for dozens of species of birds. He even gives great tips on how to locate your completed shelters, including population density for most species covered. There is an amazing amount of information in this 48 page book.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone contemplating building birdhouses. Your success as a bird "landlord" will be assured!

4.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive book with best table of birdhouse sizees., February 21, 1999
By Henry E. Raduazo (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews
Not very complete as far as types of birdhouses depicted, but it has one of the best and most complete tables listing the interior size and other dimensions needed to construct houses for various species of birds. It also recommends the habitat and height above the ground for locating houses for the various species, and best of all it is cheap. I like it.
