Western Screech-owl male and female in box behavior.

Western Screech-owls pair bonding in their nest box. Male only entered the box with the brooding female with a prey item. Vocalizations are too cool. Both times I saw this behavior the male left with the prey item. The 5 eggs were recently laid.
