After birding the morning in Waukesha County, it was a nice surprise to come home to a Eastern Screech-Owl in the backyard. I stayed about 100 feet away and took a couple of photos from the house. I put up 2 houses 3 years ago, finally there is a house guest in one of them. Hope it hangs around. A cold day with highs of only 23 degrees out here in Waukesha County, sun has been out most of the afternoon, with some wind. Images were taken on February 27, 2020.

At a distance, the owl stays perched watching…
Doing a chore in the yard the Eastern Screech Owl watches me, stayed perched here into the dark…
Great photo Jim. We have our Red Morph Screech Owl as well today!
It looks very happy with its new home and wanted you to know it. Another great picture.
Congratulations on your new tenant Jim!
And a great picture!!!!
Love the picture! Wish I had a little 🦉 owl in my backyard!
Jim, how great that your patience was rewarded with an owl in your box. Congrats!!
Good for you Jim. Nice to see house providers rewarded!
Great! You must be a ‘happy papa’!
