Screech Owls feed on small reptiles, mice and insects. They are not a threat to Lucy or the other squirrels. Check in on the live owl webcams Balcony View or Inside View Click on the images at left to view nocturnal owl videos and photographs here.
	After the squirrelhouse webcam caught this parliament of owls inspecting the squirrels' house. I built the owls their own house. The owls found the new house and a pair moved in for nesting.

Screech owls raised owlets in one of my squirrelhouses years earlier.
This family went unnoticed until the owlets started looking outside.

The mother fox squirrel checks on the owl every morning Usually the owl remains on eggs and just looks up
This time she jumped up and went face to face with the squirrel
I don't think they will ever be friends
