Subject: [Tweeters] starlings in wood duck house

Hello,
Does any one have advice on how to prevent starlings from nesting in a wood
duck house? My neighbors placed a w.d. house directly by a little pond and
its actually closer to my house (visible from my kitchen) than to any other
neighbors. Every year, however, it is inhabited by starlings. The wood ducks
just returned, as they do every year (thankfully!) and they do nest
somewhere nearby in the woods, but two days ago I witnessed a stupid
starling scare a wood duck out of the house. It would be lovely if the wood
ducks could use the house and not be harassed and chase out by starlings.
Any advice?
Thank you!
