I have received several e-mails asking why I recommend putting out birdhouses now (fall) instead of in the spring. I have used my own observations of birds over a number of years to determine that it's better to have the boxes in place when the earliest of the birds arrive in the spring. I've also noticed that birds tend to be wary of anything introduced into their environment and most will be wary of it for quite some time. I didn't have any solid evidence of that observation until now.
I have come across a study called "Cavity-nesting Bird Use of Nest Boxes in Vineyards of Central-Coast California." You can Google the title. Everyone should read this study. While it discusses the impact new vineyards are having on bird nesting areas it has parallels to homeowners putting up nest boxes and I want to point out several important topics brought up in this article. First, nesting areas for birds are being removed steadily. You probably see it in your own neighborhoods. New development for housing or shopping centers is destroying acres of nesting sites on a daily basis. Birds need the nesting boxes you put up. Paraphrasing the line used in "Field of Dreams," if you build it they will come. They need the nesting boxes and will eventually use them.
The second point I'd like to make also answers a question I receive from time to time. Someone buys some birdhouses, does everything correctly, and some of them are not used. They write and ask why. Sometimes birds simply do not use a house for a year or two. Maybe they want it weatherized more, maybe they're afraid that it showed up too suddenly in the spring and wait for the following year. Could be some of both or another reason altogether only the birds themselves know. This study showed that the use of birdhouses increased from 25% to 68% over a 5 year period. Now, in this study they set up 84 boxes. I don't expect the typical homeowner to do that and it may reflect why they achieved only a 68% usage rate. What I'm trying to say is your birdhouse may not be used the first year but it will be used if you get it designed for the bird you want to attract and place it where those birds prefer to live.
The last point I want to make is what I call the danger of generic birdhouses. People go to a garden center and buy a birdhouse, put it up and expect Goldfinches or Warblers to use them. Instead they get Starlings which prey on other birds eggs. The holes in generic birdhouses have to be large enough to attract most birds, and they do. The problem with this is the songbirds you want in your yard are vulnerable to predation by larger birds when you put up a generic birdhouse. This study points out that they created birdhouses to attract the Western Bluebird and the Ash-throated Flycatcher. They designed the hole size specifically for each bird. The Starlings were not a problem in this study and should not be in your yard unless you use a generic birdhouse.
Get your birdhouses ordered and put up now while you can enjoy the beautiful fall weather. My yard is filled with American Goldfinches that are planning to winter over and the birdhouses are already up. They see them in place now and, come spring, they will be used to them being there and start using them. If you do the same your yard will be filled with colorful songbirds next spring.
