Common Goldeneyes breed across the
forested areas of Canada, Minnesota,
Michigan, Alaska and the northeastern
United States. They are most abundant
among lakes of the Canadian boreal
forests, especially where lakes or deep
marshes have substantial invertebrate
populations. They are cavity nesters and
have a strong homing tendency, often
using the same cavity in successive
years. Nests are usually located near a
pond, lake, or river, but may be found in
woodlands up to a mile from water. Female
Common Goldeneyes nest in natural tree
cavities, abandoned woodpecker holes or
nest boxes. Unable to excavate their own
cavities, Goldeneyes are in constant
search for good nesting sites. With a
larger entrance hole than the Wood Duck
House, this box comes with wood chips and
a ladder to provide an ideal place for
Goldeneyes to lay their eggs. |
