Visitor and Pantry

We have now had one brief owl visit (7:30pm March 4th). Unfortunately, the motion detector software didn't grab it. We have increased the sensitivity, now that we know the owls are looking at the box.
We have also had another occasional visitor, a curious squirrel. We've managed to scare him off by tossing tiny pebbles at the side of the box. This is intended to avoid injuries, but get the box chewer out of there so the owls can feel comfortable with nesting, and not have their internal furniture turned into wood shavings.
The box also comes with a stocked owl pantry, apparently. This cockroach, if he sticks around, is likely to become an owl snack. Who can argue with room and board?
