We have more than 100 nestboxes on our ~40 acres of pinyon/juniper habitat about 18 miles east of Salida. This season, a Northern Saw-whet Owl raised a brood of 3 Saw-whet-lets in one of the boxes—a first for us in 12 years of providing/monitoring nestboxes.
You can either read the story and see accompanying photos here (a Wordpress blog) or view just the photos here (our Flickr photostream—click “older” to move forward in time).
