Screech-owl Box

["Eric Huish" <poorwill_ at hotmail dot com>]

Good news. I think the Screech-owls are using my nest box this year. I've 
had it up since the winter before last.  Last year only starlings.  But 
Wednesday morning at about 3AM I heard a pair of screech-owl outside my 
window and actually watched one in the cherry tree for 40 minutes. I watched 
the box for an hour this afternoon and the starling that was singing at the 
box a few weeks ago was no longer there.  And I found a Screech-owl in the 
spruce tree just 20 feet away.  Hopefully his other half is in the owl box. 
I will be very careful not to disturb them.
