Sleepy screech owl
May 09, 2013
Over dinner on the deck last night, we watched Mama Screech Owl sitting in the door of her owl box, looking for all the world as if she needed another nap before dark.
We think she has chicks in there, as she spends much of her time at the doorway now, rather than down in the box. I’m sure it’s getting crowded in there. Papa Owl sits in a ligustrum tree in the greenbelt just behind our fence. We hope to see owlets soon!

So lucky. Ours is empty again this year. Glad they overcame the squirrel intrusion.
Motherhood will do that, dontcha know.
So cute! Gotta get me an owl house.
Awe – she looks just like me most days! 😉 no…but really….she does.
Judging by the look on her face, I’d say the owlets have hatched and are playing the “Mom! He’s on my side of the nest!” game. Mama, I feel your pain.
What fun. I can’t wait to see the owlets too.
