As standing dead trees are removed from yards and managed woodlots, those cavities vanish, and the birds simply have nowhere to nest or roost. A correctly built nest box is the single most effective way to put that habitat back: the entrance has to be the right diameter and set high above a deep floor, the timber has to be untreated, and it has to open for an annual cleanout. A box that gets those four things right will be found and used.
