Name: Owl species:: Eastern Screech Owl-Red Morph Location:: Maple Run subdivision, SW Austin Sent: 12/10 2004 08:58 AM On evening walk saw a perching red screech owl. It was about 5:20 and the tree was pretty small and near street. Was very close to him, maybe 8 feet away. Observed owl again at 5:30 on second loop around the block in same location. I'll check again tonight. I have an owl box in my backyard and last spring had gray screech owls nest there, with two fledglings seen.

Name: Owl species:: Eastern Screech Owl Location:: McKinney, TX Sent: 01/27 2004 04:12 AM I have had Screech Owls roost in my duck boxes several times. I monitor boxes at the Heard Natural Scienc Museum & Sanctuary. At least one box, possibly two,are being used as roosts right now. The same two boxes that have been used in the last two years. Two years ago I had what appeared to be Screech owl eggs also. Later a Wood Duck took over the box though. Is there any way to discourage the Wood ducks once an owl has taken a box?
