They are pretty rare (state endangered).  There is another Barn Owl
nest in Brown Co., if you don't know where it is, I am not going to
dispose its location for obvious reasons.  My cousin had a pair in her
barn in Brown Co. about 6 years ago before she moved her horses in -
the birds moved out.  I have yet to find any others in my block in
Brown Co.  It's a good find.  I think ODNR is still wanting to know of
nests locations, but don't know.  I would try not to disturb it as
much as possible.  You should also make sure that it gets into the
