Screech Owl fledging time (1 Viewer)

For years, my wife and I have had Eastern Screech Owl nest boxes at various locations on our property in western NC. Because of those boxes, we have enjoyed many views of this species. This year is no exception. With one new owl fledged and at least one other still in the box, I wanted to post a few photos. We won't see them again until winter of next year when the adults reoccupy the nest boxes.

For the first time, we have mounted a trail camera visible in one photo on the side of a mature white pine tree. A few of the videos are posted on YouTube at Hamhed 2010. They are all 20 seconds long (a limitation of the camera).

This is so amazing and I'm gonna have to try it next year. Thanks for this posting.

Yep. We came home from a walk a few nights ago just before dusk to find a mob of the local songbirds harassing two adults and two fledglings. Grabbed my camera to get a couple of grainy shots. The unpictured adult was grey phase.
