Owl Box Construction

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!).

PM, T=40 (!), clear, cold with full moon

This is the second night I’ve heard flying squirrels cheeping high in trees on several sides of our house. Is this the time of year for mating? Does the full moon have anything to do with it? No sign of owls for months; are they all dead from drought, hawk attacks and lack of insect hatches?

PM, T=68, moist, scattered clouds

I think I heard an owl trilling tonight, 9:15 pm, monotonic trills, soft, pitch E above Middle C, about 10 bouts separated by gaps of a few seconds, sounded like they were coming from the big sweetgum next door.
