I'd say paint it black and put some asphalt shingles on the top. Here in W. Wash. the boxes aren't going to get too hot. So far I've only been able to attract a few bats during the summer. Good luck.
We have an owl that hangs around somewhere in my neighborhood. I hear him/her often at night. I think the owl is cool, but there's a negative side, too. We've had a lot of kittens that just disappear without a trace. A few small dogs have also come up missing.
LET FREEDOM RING
We had heard that there were bald eagles around Caddo Lake and Cross Lake but we had never seen any.
What an inspiring sight this was. It made me think about the erosion of our freedom so dearly purchased in the past and urged me to redouble my support of efforts to maintain individual freedom in our country.

Great horned owls are nasty creatures who are like the shark of the air. Stories of cats and small dogs disappearing abound. Horned owls generally reuse hawk or eagles nests. High flat and exposed.

The Horned Owls will also take to a wooden box, but the thing is enormous and way high. We have one at my work "campus" that is almost three stories up, under a huge eave. I'd estimate the box is at least 2 feet on a side.
