Grandson Reed is spending his Christmas break with us and it's a good time to work on an outdoor project. An owl nesting box.
Last spring I was lucky enough to see and photograph a Barred Owl on our property. I have also got some night time photos of owls on game cameras. Since I know there are owls in the area, let's see if they need a nesting box.

The hard part of this project wasn't building the nesting box, it was installing the nesting box 15 feet up a hemlock tree.
The plan was to use a 15 foot high ladder stand as a working platform to install the nesting box. The plan was working OK until I pull the nesting box to the top of the ladder stand and realized a one person stand didn't give me much room to maneuver and install the nesting box. After a few close calls I was able to finish the installation.
