David,
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has a publication called
Woodworking for Wildlife that details nest box plans for a couple dozen
different birds. The barn owl is included in that publication. Copies of
Woodworking for Wildlife may be obtained by request to this office by
mail, telephone, or email.
The barn owl nest does not have to be a complicated structure. I have
seen them nesting on top of grain in a full grain bin that had been left
partially open, as well as in an old badger hole in a cut bank. Nebraska
Game and Parks has placed 55 gallon barrels with an opening cut in one
end into banks and barns specifically for barn owl nest sites. Those
placements were successful.

TN birders,
Does anyone have plans for a barn owl box to hang in a barn to
encourage
nesting?
I have a friend in McMinn Co with a barn that is open for storage of
hay
where he would like to encourage barn owls to nest and rear young. He
is very
wildlife oriented but not a birder. We could use a few more of these
guys around
to help with the mousing!
Thanks in advance.
