    Great job. Can’t wait to see a video with an owl in it. Thank you for sharing. ✌️

    Must be the best built owl box in history, it’ll last many generations. 👍🏼

    One of the first things friends will say when they come to visit "Ah the peace and quite", they have no idea what they are in for with the barred owls, coyotes, and the eagles cackling at night along with the loons looning lol....Thanks for the video and helping out the owls. Logging companies clear cut across from my place over 6 years ago so 500 acres or more was lost to some of our woodland friends. I'm amazed at just how fast the clear cut is growing back.....

      So true! There has been so much clear cutting here as well. Most of the public land has been largely clear cut, or in the early stages of regrowing. Old growth is mostly limited to a few private woodlots in my area. You are also right about the sounds - the chorus of nature still plays despite the challenges that have been placed to the habitat. Happy Easter!

    What a great idea ! Honestly I had no idea they’d nest in a man made house. But I guess I’ve never thought that much into it or I would’ve figured it out. Lol. Great video ! Take care Jonathan

    Great idea. Hopefully, it works there eh! Video of it being used would be awesome... I've put out wood duck boxes with some luck and Martin boxes with no luck so far...

    Howdy Brother- really nice job on the owl house. You still are getting snow up there. It’s really beginning to turn green down in the South. I kinda dread the summer heat. Take care and God’s blessings to you

    • @PenniacWilderness

      Still some snow but winter is on its way out, despite several feet still on the ground! It's a nice time of year though - more daylight + warmer temps. God bless you too!

    Looks great, but didn’t see the little wood slats on the inside that help the baby owls climb out. Maybe I missed that.

    Always wondered, do you pronounce the owl: Bard or Bar-red? Anyways, the house looks great! How much for rent!? Until you pass through again, have fun. JB 😆

      Bard, because of the stripes/bars on its feathers

    I’m curious on why you start the nail on a different piece of wood and then take it out and then put it in the project?

    • @PenniacWilderness
      @PenniacWilderness  Год назад +1

      I was dulling the tip of the nail so it's less likely to split the wood.
