Subject: [bcbirdclub] Eastern Screech Owl
On April 12th I posted a picture of a Red Phase Eastern Screech Owl that I
found in my owl box in the back yard. I have kept an eye on it for the past
couple of weeks, I climbed up a couple of time to see if there were eggs in the
box but she was always sitting in a nesting position concealing them. At first
I wasn't sure if she had eggs but I am now convinced that she is on eggs. I put
up a video camera one night to see what was going on after dark, I watched her
poke her head out of the box numerous times but she never left which tells me
she is guarding the box and eggs. I climbed up yesterday with camera in tow and
got a picture of her sitting in a nesting position. I think it has been about
15 or 16 days now that I have kept watch over the box. I have attached a
picture of her nesting. I will post more updates as I get more info. Enjoy
