I have been fortunate to have these little owls living in an owl box I made many years ago. This specie is a red-phrased Screech Owl, although, I see the gray-phased owls at times. Sometimes both in the same box. They become quite used to my presence allowing me to walk directly under the box and/or mowing around the tree. I especially enjoy listening to, both, the adults and young. I have had the babies lined up and perched on the deck railing. I have, using my natural voice, called the little birds up close.
