Home Sweet Home

From Paul Bannick

Western Screech Owl (Megascops kennicotti) A Western Screech responds to the setting sun by beginning to move to the entrance of its new roost cavity. > As the first of the fall leaves hit the ground, North America's resident (non-migratory) owls, such as Pygmy-0wls, Northern Spotted, Barred, Barn, Great Horned and and Eastern Screech Owls are fully independent from their parents and attempt to move into their first home-ranges, which include everything they need to survive including roost cavities.
