Does anybody have any tips on how to attract Red-bellied or Downy Woodpeckers(I suppose species doesn't really matter that much) to nest??? I'm currently trying to fill Woodpecker box to the hole with sawdust and have made special Boxes that are 15" Tall and 5 1/2 inches sides. Are there any others things to increase my chances of have them nest???
They sleep in my Boxes, but didn't nest last year??? Not from lack of interest though, as they were constantly inspecting boxes and even seemed to be fighting over a box with a pair of Great Crest Flycatchers(Flycatchers won).
