Abstract

Watching nature from a backyard can be a fun and rewarding experience. Enhancing the experience can be accomplished by creating habitat and building structures to attract wildlife. Do-it-yourself (DIY) individuals may enjoy the “bird’s eye view” provided by a Wi-Fi camera mounted on the inside of a side-view nest box. This optimum viewing angle can provide the opportunity to see adult birds construct their nest and feed their hatchlings without disturbing their natural behavior. This publication outlines the design, construction, assembly, and installation of a side-view nest box, which is a project that can provide years of enjoyment, satisfaction, and learning opportunities.
