One very cold winter day, I spotted a red-phase Eastern Screech Owl in the big hole of that box which was covered with snow. I couldn't understand why the little owl had decided to spend the day in that huge box instead of inside one of the smaller boxes it had already made use of on other days. If you have smaller, more appropriately sized boxes up, you may well get a pair to nest. These birds nest almost every year in my yard. I wrote an article for Birders World in 1999 called "The Best Way to See Screech Owls. I would be happy to e-mail it to anyone who wishes to contact me at marlenecondon@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838654939610805161.post-9242890470602921802011-10-30T02:43:04.746-04:002011-10-30T02:43:04.746-04:00Very impressive!
