The owls still haven't begun nesting (or, if they have, they aren't doing it in my box), but they are still in my area; I was just filling my bird feeder when I noticed an owl in one of the branches overhead. It was probably waiting for a mouse to visit the bird feeder.

All afternoon the female owl perched in the open frame of my owl house. This is the third year that I have enjoyed the owls. I missed the owl cam last year and look forward to having an idea of what's going on inside the box day by day. Thanks for continuing this project.
ReplyDeleteI read all the way through your 2007 Screech Owl journal and loved it. We have a resident Eastern Screech Owl in our back yard. He snoozes in our pine tree every day. We've mounted an owl house in hopes that he (I think he) brings home a mama. How do I know if the owl we've so fondly dubbed Mr Spock is a he or she?
ReplyDeleteI often check to see if any owl activity has been reported. I am disappointed to see that nothing noteworthy has occured....2 years in a row without a nesting??? Each passing day increases the chances of that occuring.
ReplyDeleteMy hope is that it's not too late...Chris, you have changed my outlook to nature and life forever, and for that I will be eternally thankful.
I had an Eastern Screech owl in my nest box for the first time, this January '09. Judging by various indicators, he'd been roosting in the box for a month by the time we noticed him. He only stuck around one more month. I had hoped he'd bring back a mate and we'd have a family using the box soon. I enjoy viewing your web cam posts, Chris. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to watching the owls this season! It was lonely last year without them. I will continue to check the website obsessively...
ReplyDeleteNo owls in the box after all? How sad for us.
ReplyDeleteI keep checking back to see if you've got owls nesting. Guess it's not happening this year. I do have an owl, back in my owl box. Haven't seen a mate yet, but I'm thrilled to have this owl to watch.
