I am posting this picture of this Female Screech Owl poking her head out of nest box. You will have to look at this full screen to see her. It has me excited as will be able to see her young when they are born...probably in another week or two. I know she has been in this nest box incubating her eggs for over a week. The Screech Owl is one of the smallest Owls in North America...growing to about 9-10 inches long. They eat small rodents and insects and are truly noctunal so to witness them nesting is an honour for me.
