My husband's former student built an owl box for me, so I could try and attract an owl to my yard. I have been waiting and whining for nearly a year and had about given up. The tree trim guys came about 3 weeks ago and cut the front yard tree in my postage stamp-sized yard to smithereens... I mean there is hardly anything left except the top of the tree 50-60 feet up... They moved the box up higher, so it is about 25-30 feet up... Yesterday, I looked out the window, and "Voila," I have a little owl... I guess he likes butchered trees...

He is sooo cute... He is the red version of an Eastern Screech Owl... I wish I could post a picture, but have no clue... He sits in the opening of his box and watches us...

I need a name for him, because I am anthropomorphic...
