Les – Thank you, how did you end up on the old Owl blog post from the Random Topics post? Anyway, there are definite specs for Owl box installation. I could recite them here, but the best place to find all those details is with BOMP, the Barn Owl Maintenance Program here in Sonoma. See these two web pages: http://www.bompco.org/index.html and http://www.bompco.org/poor-box-design.html
Warmly. Ken

Lori –
Turns out the best way to get owls into your boxes is to have other occupied boxes nearby. Why? Because parents tend to raise their babies in a box and then abandon that box for another nearby box – leaving the little ones in their own box. So in a way more boxes leads to more owls. But it can indeed take up to two years (or more) to get occupants.

Happy New Year!
XOXO

Quite correct Ranger Nick. The hoo-hoo sound are the horned owls, much larger and more aggressive. Barn owls are smaller and more agile.
