Woodpeckers

Various species of woodpeckers, such as the Northern Flicker and Downy Woodpecker, excavate holes in trees for nesting and roosting.

These birds often nest in cavities, including holes in trees, buildings, and other structures.

European Starling

They use natural cavities, but also readily accept nest boxes provided by humans.

Eastern Bluebird

Tree Swallow

While they can use natural cavities, they often compete with bluebirds for nest boxes and readily accept them.

American Kestrel

These small falcons often use natural cavities or old woodpecker holes for nesting.

Great Horned Owl

Although they don't create holes themselves, they frequently use existing tree cavities, old nests, or even buildings for nesting.

Pileated Woodpecker

This large woodpecker excavates deep holes in trees, which are often used by other birds and animals once abandoned.

Common Kingfisher

These colorful birds dig burrows into riverbanks for nesting and roosting.
