Four Screech Owl Eggs in the Nest Box!

Now There are Four Eggs!

Mother Eastern Screech Owl

A bit of a surprise today when it was revealed that the Red Morph Eastern Screech Owl nesting in our box had laid another egg - making four. The past two years she only laid three. It is going to be a wild scene in the nest box when they begin hatching the weekend of April 6th. Lets just say it is doubtful four heads will fit through the nest box entrance at once. The nest box camera is ready to go once the action picks up!
