- Screech Owl
Osoyoos Lake, B.C. May 24, 1941.
Shot a pair of owls and later found the nest
containing 5, 3/4-grown young.
Nest was at ground level in hollow cotton-
wood with an entrance hole about 4 feet from the
ground. Hole 6" [inch] diam. [diameter] widening to almost 10 x
12 at the bottom.
Young owls snap their beaks vigorously and
give a little whining chuckle when hungry. Sleep
in many altitudes, often lying down on their
sides or, horizontal with the head hanging down.
Already have the peculiar weaving motion of
owls.
[female symbol]'s stomach- 1 caterpillar and 2 crickets.
No food remains near nest. In the nest
cavity were feathers of Lewis woodpecker and
sparrowhawk but these most probably were former
inhabitants.
