Description

I have had a Barn Owl Nesting Box on the edge of my property for about 3 years….but no Barn Owls. Given the apparent lack of interest, I was about to relocate the box, when I was very pleasantly surprised to find a Western Screech Owl had taken up residency! I had no idea if it was nesting or just roosting, until I noticed (on a discreet wireless cam which is the source of all pics) several eggs, then one owlet, then two – – so far! The first two owlets hatched last week. Still hoping to see more…and looking forward to watching them develop.
