Building a Birdhouse For The Dark-eyed JuncoSince dark-eyed juncos prefer nesting on the ground they do not frequent birdhouses. However in the winter they sometimes make use of man-made winter roosts which can actually be simply a modified a spring nesting box used by other birds. The recommended dimensions for the winter roost are: 7" x 9" (floor), 13" (height), 1 ½ " (entrance hole diameter). The entrance hole usually found near the top of the birdhouse should be place this time near the bottom to block drafts and minimize heat loss. Place 3 roosting perches inside the winter roost at variable heights.
