. . . Preparing to Nest!

MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012

A depression in my nest box's bedding material has suggested for several days that a female screech owl is planning on nesting there. Last night, I finally saw one of her visits, when (sure enough) her primary concern was moving the bedding material around to create a depression for the eggs that are on their way. This is normal pre-nesting behavior for a female screech owl, so it's a very good sign that my Owl Cam' will return this year . . .

Thanks, Patti, Nora, Lizz, for news. Glad to hear about Mary, too, thanks, Nora.

Be well, all.

Sure would love to see a word from Patti and any other members who live in the affected regions.
Wishing everyone well, down there.

Absolutely terrific footage, thanks!
Although one might debate the "cute" designation. They sure have the dinosaur thing down cold.

Patti, if you want to take a road trip, this might be cooler than the Indianapolis snowy, even!

Wonderful pictures of the Snowies, Dale.

They are! When I was down at Montrose Harbor snowy-watching today I met the man who's taking them and "met" (albeit at a distance and with profound indifference on the part of the beast) the subject itself. What a huge white one.

great pictures, patti, despite the glass. I love the leaping one!
