The Coveside Kestrel & Screech Owl House is available from BestNest. An opening side panel is very important for any nest box in order to monitor the progress of nesting attempts, and for cleaning and maintenance.

Attract nesting American Kestrels and small owls with this Coveside Kestrel & Screech Owl House. While there are a number of nest boxes to choose from at BestNest, the recommended model provides an opening side panel that allows you to monitor the nesting activities periodically, and easily clean it after the nesting season. The side panel also has a convenient latch to securely fasten the panel closed. The 3-inch diameter entrance hole is ideal for kestrels, screech owls, and some other small owls to access during the spring and summer nesting season.

The Coveside Kestrel & Screech Owl House is constructed of sustainably sourced, northeast pine and built by a family-owned mill to give you an ecologically friendly nest box. Measuring 11x9x17½ inches, the sloping roof sheds water and overhangs the nest box entrance to help protect and shade it. Ventilation slots near the roof and drainage holes in the bottom corners of the base panel help to keep the interior dry. A bag of wood shavings is provided for you to add a soft material for birds to lay eggs upon (kestrels and owls don’t build nests).

As nestlings grow, the rough interior walls help nestlings climb to the entrance to be fed by the adults, and eventually to fledge. This pine nest box will transform to a rustic gray color when installed outdoors – position the nest box 10 to 30 feet high for best results.
