Creator Transcript
  • 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.
