When I went to clean the Screech Owl Nest-Box at the Community Garden yesterday, I was surprised to find a large and sleepy opossum in it. For some time I have been surprised that we have not had a screech owl in that box. Now we know why ! So I too my trash tongs, grabbed the opossum by the tail and dropped him into a cedar bush. From there he left in a great hurry. Big question now is if he comes back or we get the intended screech owl for their nesting season which should start any day now. Screech owls are good for gardens because they enjoy small rodents for their nightly food supply.
