The Common Merganser prefers to breed in
ponds associated with upper portions of
rivers in forested regions, and clear,
freshwater lakes with forested
shorelines. It winters as far north as
open inland waters are available. The
Common Merganser generally nests in
cavities in hollow trees near water, but
also in dark recesses, on the ground or
in nest boxes. The height of the tree
cavity and species of tree are
unimportant, but the number of suitable
cavities available is definitely limited.
Our Merganser House provides the perfect
cavity for mergansers that normally nest
in naturally occurring tree cavities.
Mount the Merganser House on a pole in
the open water to provide extra
protection from predators. |
