The screech-owl was in the tree cavity opening again this morning. Last year it seemed to most frequently appear in the opening when it was sunny, so I was skeptical this morning, but it was there. Thanks, Dave, for reminding us about this owl!
The cavity is about half way up a tree at the back edge of the parking lot on the left side of the Dandy Mart on Rt. 79 in the village of Slaterville Springs (in the town of Caroline). If you don't see a dark cavity, then the owl is probably in the opening, well camouflaged. The cavity faces the parking lot and is easily seen from one of the parking spaces on the left side of the building.
