Almost the same as Saturday. The North Woods owl was just waking up when I arrived, ignored the bikers and joggers going by, and then flew out deep into the Loch out of sight.










Almost the same as Saturday. The North Woods owl was just waking up when I arrived, ignored the bikers and joggers going by, and then flew out deep into the Loch out of sight.
It was nice evening up in the North Woods. The owl was in its tree as usual, and gave me the slip as usual, flying out fast, deeply into the Loch. It’s going to require a team effort to follow this one.
Today, I finally got a picture of one of the North Woods Owls. Now, who is it and where is its mate? I guess only time will tell.
I saw an owl in the new tree, got out my camera and the owl was gone. I’ll have to set up the camera before getting near the bridge the next time!
It looks like a tip from a Park Ranger may help us rediscover our missing North Woods Owls. There is a tree near a popular bridge that has had a number of Owl sightings over the last few days.
This may be the new nesting cavity for the pair. It was possible we had guessed too soon about when they started nesting. The new location makes sense since it is near the fledge sites of 2005 and 2006.
The West Side owls continue to be in stealth mode. The male was reported to been visible briefly during the day when a squirrel went near their cavity. I think they’re going to be impossible to photograph until later in the spring.
One of the Pool owls cavities had a squirrel come into the hole at dusk. Since this is where I had though they had laid eggs, this is very confusing. This is a real puzzle.
