Screech-Owl in West Farmington

[andrew...@gmail.com]

Just saw on the ME Wildlife FB group that someone in West Farmington had an Eastern Screeh-Owl that flew into their house.  Had photos though they thought it was a barred owl or saw-whet:-)  What a great bird to see in ME.  So rare.  Still looking.  One of the few breeding owls I have yet to see in the state.  I see in the 80's tthat a family of them was seen in Farmington so I guess this is one of the few places they're breeding in ME.  Nice.

We have one here in Cape Neddick that’s been calling and calling for the past week. In fact I went out and bought a screech owl house and put it up in hopes that he/she will stay. But, we also have a large, very active population of great horned owls so….

Yes, they're in that very southern part of Maine, but still pretty rare.  The farther north/east you go in the state the rarer they are.  Evidentily Farmington is one of the few places they've bred in the past.  Hope you get one nesting.  Atleast you have one;-)

Scrolling through the many comments on the Facebook post of the screech owl, I found that this happened in Kittery not Farmington

Still very cool!

Don't know where you got Kittery.  The person said to me it was in West Farmington.
