Hoo,Hoo…Hooooo said the Wise Old Owl as he stands guard. He may appear sleepy but very territorial and protective as Mrs. Great Horned Owl is now hunkered down in a nest.
He will need to rest up for now until there are young…then he’ll be busy hunting for food in order to feed those hungry little fluff balls.
Will have to wait and see how this all turns out.
While on route running an errand and glancing at the boulevard trees as driving something caught my eye which seemed a bit off. Being on a residential street I was able to hit the brakes and the 4-way flashers at the same time…grabbed the binoculars that live under the seat and had a look-see.
Surprise, Surprise another Owl…much smaller than a Great Gray for sure. These owls are definitely The Masters when it comes to Camouflage.
The Eastern Screech-Owl had found a comfortable place to roost for the day in this large cavity…appears it may have been a One Day Wonder and haven’t seen it for a couple days.
Maybe time to go and do some cavity searching since it’s likely still in the area…just sayin !
Exciting when the Stars Align and have everything fall into place…when Out-n-About in search of Great Grays.
They are referred to by many as Grays, Greys, Ghost of the Forest, Phantoms of the Forest even Mouse-Munchers.
It’s been a hit and miss kind of year and now as the season draws near with roughly a month of Winter Owling left.
