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.

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.
