We've got an owl!
The people next door have a box up in a tree for wood ducks. They said they never have had one, but there is an owl in the box! Every time I try to sneak and get his picture, he sticks his head back in. It is the cutest thing, looks like a little brown kitten poking it's head out.

A screech owl? How is that?? I'm so jealous, here I live way up north and don't get any kewl critters like that!
Hubs said when he was a boy and his parents lived in this house his dad found a snowy owl in the driveway. Can't remember the ret of the story but think it was hurt or cold or something. I can't imagine seeing a owl, I think they are so pretty.

The lady next door has not seen him in the box since! I hope I didn't scare him off. There was a falcon out back in the easement, up on a branch in a dead tree, they think the owl sighted him, and left. They are suppose to be equal in the animal world, and they were not sure if this is what frightened him off or not. I am hopeing he is out scouting for a mate and will bring it back and lay eggs in the box. Wishful thinking on my part, we will see.
owl in duck house
Just had to comment about the owl in the wood duck house. Last year I was so disappointed when one took over our house as I love the gentle wood ducks, but found on the forum, most folks preferred the owl. I got several pictures of the little screech owl with my camcorder, but never heard his call. Had heard they have a rather eerie sound. Mary
