April 17 – [4:30 PM] Don't panic about the owl box being open and empty; the owlets are sitting next to me as I write this. The youngest appears to have been injured by the ants that finally scared me into taking down the box to remove them. My raptor rehabber friend is on her way to take a look at the little fellow. The others seem uninjured, and before the box goes back into the tree, several steps will be taken to make it an ant no-go zone. BTW, I've given the owlets water, a tricky process, but at least partially successful, I believe, and they're currently enjoying the air conditioning. Needless to say, I want to get the box ant-free, re-stocked with owlets, and back in the tree ASAP, but the youngest needs an expert to have a look, and fortunately, my expert is on the way.
Ahh, hope the little guy is OK.
