Made a set of Northern Flicker nesting boxes out of western cedar, soon to be delivered. The exterior was coated in butcher block oil so it would not harm the birds if they were to peck at the box itself while the inside was left natural. The boxes themselves are 24" tall and 7.25" wide and deep. Due to the height that they will be mounted we chose a front opening plate instead of the roof opening for cleanout purposes. The inside was left rough with added footing on all inside walls except the back as well as the front exterior.
