4. Cool - I didn't know they would nest in boxes

Our barred owls seem to find plenty of places to nest without our help. Every spring we get to listen to their conversations at night as they discussion family matters.

Here are a pair I saw this past Monday at the Circle B Bar Reserve just south of Lakeland, Florida:



They were roosting just off the main path nest to the parking and picnic area. A crowd of people were watching them, taking photos, and discussing the owls who seemed unconcerned by all the excitment.
