Screech-Owl Antics

[Goblor]

Western Screech-Owls have been visiting my yard in Tucson during the recent heat-wave. They love the waterhole and have been using it to drink and take baths:

1. Love it!

I hear the screech owls regularly, but have never seen them. Maybe I need to put out a birdbath.

2. I've had

a camera set up for almost three years now and other than one photo a couple years ago, this is the first time a group has hung around long enough to be captured at length. A birdbath will definitely help, especially during the dry season ...

3. The challenge

is keeping the raccoons out. Don't want them visiting my garden more than necessary.

6. I very much enjoy your nightime wildlife videos.

I've done a bit of wildlife photography here in the Virginia woods, but nothing as exotic as some of your captures.

7. I love the desert birds and the owls.

I started birding when I lived in Phoenix. ID'ing a Cactus Wren was my start.
