(18,219 posts)Where did you get an owl house? Is your property out in the country? How is it attached to the tree?
And where the heck are there green leaves on the trees? I want to move there....right now.

(18,219 posts)I guess I don't want to live where you are. Or more specifically, I couldn't afford it. I lived in Houston for several years, and Texas is too danged hot in the summer, although Austin is wonderful. But 70 sure does sound nice to this snow-bound frozen PA resident.

Congratulations!

(3,691 posts)The ones I had were dark brown. Funny thing, they didn't nest in the screech owl house in the backyard, but in the titmouse house in the front. It wasn't big enough for all, so one parent slept in a nearby holly tree.
