[obol] Barn owls at the coast

[Floyd Schrock]

On one of the Tillamook Christmas Bird Counts that I participated in 
within the past 10 years, my first bird of the day was a Barn Owl 
flying above the parking lot of the Tillamook Cheese factory.  When I 
lived in Lincoln Co. in the early '80's I occasionally saw them in the 
Siletz area about 10 miles inland from the beach.  I think you will 
have a good chance of getting them into your barn if you provide the 
right accommodations.

Guess this will hit more than a few lists, but I have a question.  I 
live on the Oregon Coast and have a beautiful barn.  Will I be wasting 
my time if I install a barn owl nest box?  My checks of the obol lists 
show very few reports, and none in Lincoln County; but internet 
research says they are very wide ranging.

All responses will be appreciated.
