On April 12th I posted a picture of a Red Phase Eastern Screech Owl that I
found in my owl box in the back yard. I have kept an eye on it for the past
couple of weeks, I climbed up a couple of time to see if there were eggs in
the box but she was always sitting in a nesting position concealing them. At
first I wasn't sure if she had eggs but I am now convinced that she is on
eggs. I put up a video camera one night to see what was going on after dark,
I watched her poke her head out of the box numerous times but she never left
which tells me she is guarding the box and eggs. I climbed up yesterday with
camera in tow and got a picture of her sitting in a nesting position. I
think it has been about 15 or 16 days now that I have kept watch over the
box. I have attached a picture of her nesting. I will post more updates as I
get more info. Enjoy
