Owl nesting boxes ...
Owl nesting boxes are a little different than nesting boxes intended for other birds. For one thing they tend to be mounted on a very high pole, as high as 30 feet in the air. Owls are omniscient birds who like to have a view of everything that is going on so you are more likely to attract one of these birds of wisdom if you position the owl nesting box ay up high. Owl nesting boxes also have some other unique characteristics. The birds that you are most likely to attract to owl nesting boxes are the Eastern Screech Owl and the Western Screech Owl. These birds require a three inch round nesting hole and an entrance facing north. The box should also be situated near an area populated with evergreens or very thick deciduous forest.
