2019 Season: From mid-November through mid-December, one owl (female?) used the nest box as a day roost, before shifting to the palm tree where the male has been roosting. During December and January we were interested to see the owls actively defending the vicinity of the nest box by "buzzing" any squirrel which approached this section of the nest tree. Several times, the owls managed to actually knock a squirrel off its branch (squirrels bounced up unhurt from the 30-foot fall!). |
