Karl Schneck is a friend, birder, and bird-lover who lives in the countryside near Ashland. His place has out-buildings. Those buildings have residents. Here are his own words: “I’ve been doing daily checks on the Barn Owls around my house. They are often in either of the barns or in an ivy-filled tree near a nest box. I had 3 BAOW inside the shop building a couple of days ago and a single owl in one of the barns or the tree on most days. I had to choose between poop and pellets in the shop or blocking their entrance… of course, I went with the poop and pellets to keep the BAOWs around. Photo [of the] BAOW roosting in the tree today.”
