WESTERN SCREECH-OWL

April 27, 2008. On my way out the door, I saw a squirrel quickly run up a nearby tree. As it passed a hole in the tree, I was amazed to see this owl come out. It clearly was interested in me and kept staring at me while I was there. My daughter Amy had been hearing a Western Screech-Owl most nights the past few weeks and now I saw why; this hole is a mere 30 feet from her window.
