Thin box made of wood about 18" wide, 1" thick. Back panel extends downward about 4" and has chicken wire attached to it on the inside. Bottom is open, can't tell if top is open. Attached to tree about 20 feet up.

Some sort of trap/bait for insects (gypsy moth?) maybe.

Looks looks might be a home for bats!

For sure bat house!

Yup.

Makes sense - too bad it's empty.

Same here. I still have it up, about 4yrs now. Nothing

Starting to see more and more bats in the past 2 years, hopefully the population keeps rebounding. I plan to put up a few of those boxes this year.

To help folks like SmartAss......
