In 2008, we put up a Screech Owl nest box in our back yard. Last summer we were thrilled to realize that a pair of Western Screech Owls had indeed nested in our yard, but not in the box. They used the box, just not for eggs and young. This blog follows their life in our yard, and, sometimes, in their box. We named the female, Olive and her mate, Oliver. I hope you will enjoy reading the ongoing story of this charming family.

July 12 later that morning . . . .

        The good news is that all 4 owls are now in hiding, where they should be.  There have been a lot of crows as well as jays around so I'm glad that they're no longer flaunting their presence.
