Many folks have asked about our screech owl. I check our video camera every day and the owl has not been in the box. We have not seen the screech owl yet this fall/winter season. Maybe the mild weather has allowed it to stay away from the box. Barred Owls have been regulars in the yard for a

At 9:00 am I checked our video camera and the owl was not in the box. Yesterday it was sleeping in the box most of the day. It came to the entry and sat from 5:00 PM until dusk. I won't post again until I see the owl. George Skinner and Anne Hanley 15330 Lynn Terrace Minnetonka, MN 952-936-0811

At 8:00 am I checked our video camera and the owl was not in the box. Yesterday it was sitting at the entry hole much of the afternoon. I did not notice any new pellets in the box. Perhaps hunting is difficult with the thaw and freeze weather. I won't post again until I see the owl. George

At 8:30 am I checked our video camera and the owl was not in the box. Yesterday, throughout the day, a number of people got to see the owl sitting at the entry hole of the Wood Duck box. It was a real jack-in-the-box yesterday. I can't get over the Chickadees, I watched them buzz just inches

Many people have asked if we have a screech owl roosting in our wood duck box again this winter. So far this season we have not seen one. Last week there was a big mob of chickadees, blue jays and cardinals giving alarm calls and checking the box by looking in the hole. By the time I got to the

The owl has not been back to the box since I posted it present last Friday. I did not have time to post that it was not present on the days after that. You are welcome to stop by and check from the street to see if it is sitting at the entry hole anytime. We will be in and out quite a bit this

Sunday, Dec. 20, 2009. The owl was not in the box this morning or yesterday morning. I did speak to the folks a few blocks away who have a video camera in their wood duck box and the owl was there yesterday. This owl alternates roosting sites. We had it most of last week. Maybe they will have
