Free Bird House Plans

These free bird house plans are courtesy of U.S.federal and state natural resource agencies.

If you would like to add nesting places to raise young in your backyard habitat, here are pdfs you can download and work from.

To view the pdf you need a pdf reader. You probably have one on your computer. If not, Download free Adobe Reader here.

Imagine sitting in your backyard habitat observing nestlings and writing and drawing in your nature journal.

Or setting up a blind and watching from a hidden area.

Or taking nature photographs from the comfort of your own home.

Before beginning a project, an overview of nest building might be helpful.
