Last fall I heard the trill of an Eastern Screech Owl, i called back and the bird over to near where i was. I decided to find some plans and build a nest box for the owls. I placed the box high up on my old purple martin pole facing my backdoor so i could observe any activity. Earlier this year my son-in-law noticed a head sticking out of the box. Sneaking over to get a closer look i determined it to be an Eastern Screech Owl. For several evening i would setup and watch the box for activity and i found that she would fly out and a second owl would join her. Later i determined that it was a pair of screech owls. I subsequently found the male perching in my citrus tree just under the box and the female in the box. Since that time I have seen her fly out and return with food for babies in the box. More recent I have seen an owlet with his head out of the box.
