Need info on Great Crested Flycatcher Nest Box Plans (1 Viewer)

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any information on building a nest box for great crested flycatcher in FL..

I live in Winter Park and have seen several of these birds in my back yard - usually fussing and chasing each other. Although I haven't seen them lately, I spotted them every day for weeks.

On a local wildlife show, there is a quick shot of this bird on a bird house. I'm not sure if the bird is using the nest box as a place to nest or as a place to perch.

Any one have some back yard experience with these birds?

Thanks,
K

Khamblett -
I've been told that a Screech Owl box and GC Flycatcher are the same design. We don't get the Flycatcher here except in migration but our Screech owls like our boxes. I make my own and have modified the design over the years to simplify the hanging and cleaning process.
