ACE is a screech owl who has been living in a nesting box just beyond Wright’s backyard since mid-November. Last spring, Ace and his mate had four owlets successfully fledge from the box.
THE SCREECH CAM is an infrared video camera that provides an amazing window into what's happening inside the nesting box. Wright has also a video-cam for his wood-duck box.

What a great, interesting and really informative article. A few years ago, I attempted to Kayak and launch at the Meadowlands, but I was so afraid of tipping, I put the boat back on the roof and headed to the Wallkill River. This gives great hope for a revival! Terrific writing, too!
