re: #143 Backwoods Sleuth
Happy I got the correct ID. They live in my barn and the owl in the news video looked like an eastern screech owl.
They are too cute for words.
We set up an owl house years ago, so excitedly. One morning we woke up to Blue Jays making a racket around it and an adult owl peeking out at them. Two days later the owl was gone. We figured that the Blue Jays were just too noisy and bothersome but when I googled it we learned that Blue Jays are the number one predator of Screech Owls!
