It's going to depend on what species of owl you are wanting to attract also.

Owl Box
We put up an owl box (screech owl) this year and got our first visitor in a couple weeks. I believe we may have a nesting pair but its hard to say. I know we've had 2 in there at least once since the snow.

I've never got an owl in either of mine. Did see a Mexican queeler checking it out one time. Wished an owl woulda happened by right then.Comment

That's cool. I've always wanted a bat house.Comment

Do you need to put any nesting material in to attract them?

I had one at my home in Atascocita that the owls used and have had a couple here in Bulverde. I got the plans online and I think I used 1 1x12 to make the entire house.
They say the direction they face is important. The one in Atascocita faced southwest. My first one here in Bulverde faced North. I've been told any direction but north, however, we had a couple of sets of owlets hatched in that one. Above the spot where that box hung on our big oak is a big hole in the limb. It faces north as well. We've had owlets hatched in there too.
The west facing one was hung last summer and not used. Hoping that will change this spring as we can see it through the big picture windows in the back of the house.

I haven't had any luck with mine. Squirrels chewed a hole in the side and took it over. I plan to get a new one soon. I believe I bought it from a guy around Nacagdoches.Comment
