Just learned that Timber Press plans to publish -- in October -- the Screech Owl book that Scott Weston and I did.
Here's the writeup:
Hearing an owl call and seeing one in the wild is a nature-lover's dream. In fact, of the top ten birds people hope to see, three are owls. What many people don't know, however, is that the screech owl is North America's most common and widespread backyard owl—and further, that by taking a few simple steps including building and siting a basic nest box, you can actually attract owls to nest in your yard each year. Screech owls are the owls most likely to make their homes near humans.
In "The Screech Owl Companion," Jim Wright and Scott Weston introduce screech owls, share fun lore and legend, and provide step-by-step instructions for making your yard screech ready. You’ll learn how to build a squirrel-resistant nest box and install a simple nest cam that you can monitor from your cell phone to watch when owls move in, lay eggs, and raise a family.
Very exciting. Stay tuned.
