Aerial insectivores that feed on mosquitoes need to fly around in open = spaces, so not so much present in deep woods. Tree Swallows will nest = around the edges of fields and large openings in the woods, though. One place that you can look for dimensions & tips on bird nesting boxes = is the Murrants' website. They have a lot of experience with nest boxes = in Cape Breton. Googling Cape Breton birds will get you to them, and = there's a link to their nest box info.
