Western Screech Owl - a photo on Flickriver

            This angle shows some of the stripping of the bark on the inside of the opening to the cavity. I don't know if this work was done by the owl or somebody else but it appears to be quite fresh. I am wondering if the owls do this potentially to line the cavity with some wood chips for the eggs.
