Whether I’m walking or driving I constantly glance at the holes in trees for anything unusual. These larger cavities would have most likely been made by a Pileated Woodpecker and often become the new home for something else.
This well camouflaged Eastern Screech-Owl seems right at home in its New Digs.
Shortly after arrival to an Osprey site while watching the female in the nest and suddenly she began chirping. More than a chirp for…Honey Bring Me That Fish Right Now.
Prolonged chirps that sounded more like defensive or alarm calling.
Then the intruder came into sight…another Osprey was in the area and off the nest she went.
One of the Peregrine sites has a banded male named Sundance and he’s partnered up with an un-banded female…if she had a band she would have a name.
We’ve dubbed her as Etta and she has a couple of very distinctive markings which may be helpful in the future.
Just how did the name Etta come to be ?
Etta was the wife/partner of The Sundance Kid as in Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid and only made perfect sense.
