I am an Eastern Screech-Owl

Nesting in a box in my bestie, Heather's, back yard

Today is her birthday, so please wish her well

And give her my best regards. 

(Today's post is for Heather, longtime Dee and Dee at 8 a.m. supporter.)

I am an Eastern Screech-Owl
I take well to human-made boxes
I communicate with other owls antiphonally -
Which means I call, and then wait for responses.
