Studies have shown that created snags do provide habitat for cavity nesting birds (A.J. Kroll et. al ). Forested wetlands, waterways, and ri-parian areas containing abundant snags are critical for some cavity-nesting birds, specifically ducks such as wood ducks.

(A secondary cavity nesting species is one that cannot excavate its own nesting site, but instead relies on holes excavated by woodpeckers — or relies on the handiwork of humans to build a safe home.) Each of these birds has specific habitat requirements and in some cases there is overlap and conflict when housing is at a premium. The long-term impacts of postfire timber harvest on fire-associated cavity-nesting bird species are not well documented. We studied nest-site selection by cavity-nesting birds over a year period (–), representing 1–11 years after fire, on two burns created by mixed severity wildfires in western Idaho, by: The Plight of Cavity Nesting Birds. By Larry Jordan on July 1, in BirdWords. Both of these groups promote placing and monitoring nest boxes (birdhouses) in optimal locations for cavity nesting birds. Because of these programs and hundreds of thousands of nest boxes put up across North America, cavity nesting birds are on the rebound.

"Cavity-nesting" is a term that describes birds that build nests, lay eggs and raise young inside sheltered chambers or -nesting does not typically apply to completely constructed cavities, such as birds that weave elaborate, enclosed nests, but instead is reserved for birds that rely on nesting shelter from other sources and build their nests within that shelter.

Some birds will abandon their nest with too much disturbance. If you check less frequently or discover a clutch that is already in progress, follow Nest Monitoring Protocol docx.
