I think we've resolved the problem with the owl satisfactorily.  The
city tree inspector was out yesterday and said that there would be
no problem holding off cutting the tree down until August or so.  If
the owl(s) aren't out and about by then, I'll call him back.  He seemed
very cooperative, saying that they often postpone cutting trees for
the sake of nesting squirrels, etc.  He just needs to make sure the tree
isn't a hazard to humans which, happily, our's is not.  Now to see if
this roost develops into a nest.  Haven't seen or heard a mate around
yet.

Thanks to all who responded to my problem.  I'm still going to build
that nesting box so maybe we'll get one again after the old tree is gone.
