Description

Came home one afternoon and THREE owlets were in the Screech Owl box hole which is along side our gravel driveway, not far from the house. By the time I grabbed my camera, there was only one in the hole. This was taken on May 26, 2011 and have never seen them in this box since. We had contacted Cornell to see if they would be interested in streaming a nest cam in spring of 2012 which they were, but we only ever got squirrels in there despite our best efforts. The squirrels have won year after year. We do have a male Screech in another box that has been coming every year almost on the exact same day, but it is inaccessible as far as a nest cam goes.
