Tonight follows the pattern of the last few nights.  Only the female being seen, late fly out, and lots of calling and movement high up in the trees.

Another night where we don’t see the kids.
She spent 45 minutes calling in this tree. Is she calling for her mate or encouraging her children to fledge?

Just the usual.  Only the mother was visible this evening.

The tree limb choices have been much higher the last few evenings. We’ve been wondering if there are insects and/or budding branches that are attracting the owl to higher perches.

Saturday’s fly out was very predictable with no sign of the kids.

After the fly out we had a surprise, she went to the top branches of some very high London Planes and called for her mate.  I was sad to hear, as there was no response like we had so sweetly heard a few weeks earlier.
