  
Screech Owls prefer abandoned
woodpecker holes at the edge of a field or neglected orchard.
They will readily take to an Owl House lined with an inch or two of
wood shavings. If you clean the Owl House out in late spring after the
young Screech Owls have fledged, you may attract a second tenant-a
kestrel. Trees isolated from larger tracts of woods have less
chance of squirrels taking over the Owl House.
