Eastern Screech Owl Abandons Nest Box With Three Eggs



Mother Screech Owl looks sad and tired as I take her last picture before she abandoned the nest box. You can hear her beautiful and soulful voice at:
Not exactly sure what happened, but the male stopped bringing food and as a result she left the eggs alone for well over three hours after dusk in 50 degree temperatures for two nights - after that she ceased incubating. She stayed in the nest box during the day for another week and then left overnight on April 6th.
I look forward to seeing her next year and hearing the amazing sounds of the Eastern Screech Owl in the woods.
