For those who have reported "small owls" found in Wood-duck boxes: Have the boxes been mounted on a tree or was it on a pole with the usual predator guard (sheet metal cone)? What this question tries to address is whether the box needs to be buried in a tree to be attractive to a small owl. I ask because boxes buried in a tree are much harder to protect from predators; a free standing post much easier.
