Screech Owls Acting Like Teenagers For 12 Minutes

Eastern Screech Owl (Rufus) got a mate (Blondie) in his house and is doing all he can to convince her to stay. He got her in there 2 months earlier for a couple of minutes but she bolted. Rufus then left the box for about a month and in the meantime a Flicker perched there for about 5 nights and a few days later a Starling built a nest but must have been nervous about building it in a box once occupied by an owl because he also left. About a week later Rufus returned and seems to still have Blondie interested.
