Yes, it’s definitely possible, but there’s no guarantee an owl will take up residence. Make sure the box is the right size and placement for your local owl species, and try adding a squirrel guard if squirrels keep occupying it. Sometimes it can take several seasons before an owl discovers and accepts a nest box.

Funny you should mention. I am from the northwestern US and was delighted when, visiting Cornwall this spring, I encountered what could have been a twin of the house finches that frequent our feeder at home. I believe we have the Mexican variety that ranges throughout the US. This linnet is the closest in appearance to the one I saw, but I could swear it was slimmer and more subtly colored like the ones we have here. Maybe a fellow tourist?

There isn’t a bird species officially called the Carolina Finch. You may be thinking of the House Finch, which is common throughout the Carolinas, or perhaps the Carolina Chickadee or Carolina Wren. If you had a particular bird in mind, let us know, we’d be happy to help identify it!
