Today, Friday Nov 27, 2009, 8:30 a.m. a gray screech owl is in the box. It appears on the video camera to be awake. I expect it to start sunning itself in our wood duck box entry at 11 a.m. based on past behavior. The last day it was here it stayed in the box until 4:30 pm. It then sat at the enty hole until dark.
It often sits in the hole of the wood duck box, off and on, after 11 a.m. until it flies out at dusk. The larger pole mounted duck box at the northwest corner of our house is the one in use. You can clearly see the entry hole from your car while parked in the street in front of the southwest corner of our house. Don't try to walk closer as that will just drive the owl down into the box. Good luck, owl watchers!
