I went down Sweazey Rd. in Lansing, (off Rt. 34B-Ridge Road, about 4.5 miles from the South Lansing stop light), drove west just past the Cornell Orchards onto the dirt part of the road, and found the SCREECH OWL in a somewhat wide south-facing cavity, in a branch (barkless) that points west from the trunk of the dead tree, on the north side of the road. About 20-30 feet from the road. Owl was sound asleep.
In warmer weather I hear them all the time around my house here, but have never been able to find them in a hole in a tree! Donna L.
