For instance, a Burrowing Owl, lives in a burrow, and in western parts of North America. They will not nest in your tree nest box, but you can create a nest box for them, in the ground. This is a great option for those of you who are fearful of heights, and if you are lucky enough to live in the parts of the country where they thrive.
