Helping Owls: Human-made Nests

A Great Gray Owl (Strix Nebulosa) arrives at her nest with a chipmunk for her waiting young in a human-made platform. Owls do not create their own nests, many species of owls including Western and Eastern Screech Owls, Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls, Elf Owls, Long-eared Owls, Barred Owls and Great Horned Owls will accept help in the form of nest boxes or platforms.

      “I feel so guilty getting takeout so much, but who’s got time to prepare meals at home with all the owlets to deal with? Billy is in Owl Scouts and Marsha is getting ready for flight classes, and all we have time for is McChippys.”
