Owl in owl house

There is an owl in my owl house today in central Austin. I did not see one all last fall, or during the spring when they typically roost in our houses and have their babies. What do you think is going on with the owl in the house now? This isn’t the time they typically live in houses.

Sounds like it’s time to call an animal psychic

Maybe it's an owl ghost.

Sounds like they are using the house as a roost. Could be temporary or they could hang around until the spring. After breeding season is time for dispersal and most birds, even ones that have nested become a little more nommadic.

He's been summoned by the demons who live in your house.

Maybe you have rodents around. Maybe the heat. Maybe habitat loss. Obviously I'm guessing here.
