Nice to have some good news… This site has been active all fall-winter,
From Jan 15th.
We have had an interesting owl season so far and it is very different from other years. Starting in October we first had a lengthy visit from a female gray morph owl. She stayed off and on for a month. We then have had a red male owl who frequents the box quite often ( staying for hours), then disappears for a few weeks. The little red male recently left a mouse in the box and then retrieved it 2 days later. Around the same time the mouse was left a female joined the male in the box for a minute! We don’t know what It all means and considering the last 2 years 2 owls stayed in the box almost every night ( actually 5 years) but left on March 20 and set up house somewhere else. The previous years we had 3 sets of owlets that fledged successfully. Fingers crossed that they will decide to stay.
Looks like the pair has decided to nest in the box this year!
