    There's been a Saw-whet Owl calling around our yard since Christmas. I've called him in a number of times but haven't gotten good views or a photo since he's stayed high in the trees. Saw-whets are nocturnal so all this is in the dark. On January 10, we mounted a 2nd owl nest box in the yard. So far, no sign that he's found a mate so today I painted the box with a brown latex stain and it fairly disappears in the yard. The nest hole is 18.5 feet off the ground.

    I also have a box for Boreal Owl, a larger cousin to the Saw-whet. Both species could nest in our spruce-fir habitat. The Boreal box was painted gray so I gave it a camo finish and mounted it in the yard today, the hole 20.5 feet off the ground. We'reopeful that one of the boxes gets used in the next month or so. I'm including a pic of one of my Saw-whets for perspective.

    That's some cool stuff, Hummer.

    I've heard a GHO around here at night a couple of times but haven't spotted him yet.

    Cool stuff. I really like owls. We have a GHO that roosts in the cottonwoods that hang over our backyard/patio. The damn crows sure do make a racket harassing him in the daytime.

    We have a pair in our neighborhood. He's often in my big cottonwood in the back.

    If I don't hear him for a few days I start to think maybe they've moved on, but there's so damn many rabbits and critters around here, I don't know what it would take to scar them off.

    Several years ago Denver had a huge windstorm that dropped a lot of dead trees. A big cottonwood fell somewhere around Cherry Creek park. When it was being cut-up and hauled away, they found like 17 cat collars in a hollowed area. Owl nest for sure.

    Yes, on the ground below Great-horned Owl nests I've found numerous cat skulls, pheasant feet and pack rat tails.
