I have been hearing cooing (not pishing) from the owl box over my drive way
for several days. Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon I checked it out and found
two adult red morph (usedto be phased) screech owls in it. One was in a corner
of
the box and the other was setting on several downy young. I did not want to
disturb them so did not move either. The adult did not cover all the young so
there might have been several. Past experience has found four or perhaps five
in a nest.
If banding is an option it probably should be done by this week end.
Arrangements must be made to ;have the grand urchins present.
My band expired some time ago and the leading bander in the area said
his had also.
