Starting in 2014, I have photographed a pair of Eastern Screech owls and their young in the front yard of a home close to where I live in Cocoa Florida. In 2016 after the pair fledged 3 Owlets, the tree in which the cavity resided was blown down during a hurricane. Hoping they would return, the property owner and I built them a new home. We used some circular plywood, a 4x4 and dead hollowed-out palm tree that once had a cavity burrow in it. This male Screech Owl is calling (whinny and trill) back and forth with the female who is occupying the cavity entrance. This is a typical occurrence every evening Just prior to dusk. Usually, the male is hidden in a more dense area, but this evening he was in plain sight, providing a great opportunity to capture this behavior. The pair would go on to fledge three young Screech owls just like they have each year since 2014. Photos of these Screech Owls. [ Ссылка ] Check out this video if you want to see more of these owls.
