Nest Box Planner
Tell us where you live and who you want to move in. We'll show which way the entrance should face, how high to mount it, and what the species needs nearby.
Drag the pin to the spot in your yard. The green wedge shows the directions the entrance can face; the dashed ring is the open space it needs around it.
Placement guidelines from Cornell Lab of Ornithology's NestWatch and Bat Conservation International. Climate: NASA POWER (2001-2025 averages). Sightings: iNaturalist research-grade observations within about 60 miles. Address lookup: U.S. Census Bureau. Imagery: USGS National Map. Sun hours assume open sky; trees and buildings that shade the spot reduce them.
