I have built many houses/nest boxes using plans from this source. It is the right price, free so there is no reason to not have at least a look at it.

The designs are very basic, no fancy joints, no even slightly complicate joints so even beginners can build from the plans, great project to get the kids involved in.

Did I mention it was free?

It gives you information on the size of hole, placement of the hole, dimensions of the house, and the like. A good resource even if you decide to build one of your own design.

It is a PDF so as long as you know what to do with that format you will be fine downloading it. I think it is like 35 or so pages long so if you want to make yourself a paper copy it is not too bad to do.

Don't know what to get your Prothonotary Warbler or Pileaed Woodpecker? How about a nice new home.

I mentioned this in this thread:

On page three you can see the squirrel house I built from the plans.

In case I forgot to mention it is free.
