Helpful Tips
- Nest boxes are most likely to attract Pygmy Nuthatches in open areas of pine-dominated forests which lack dead trees.
- Nest boxes may be used for winter roosting by nuthatches, so boxes should be left open year-round.
- Pygmy Nuthatches are typically very tolerant of nest monitoring.
