Today, was similar to yesterday but the owl was much more relaxed. Even with harassment by a Red-tailed Hawk, Blue Jays, Tufted Titmouses, and a Gray Squirrel. It looked a lot less stressed. I visited in the early afternoon and returned late in the evening.

When I returned for the evening, the Wildlife Conservation Society team had already left without being able to capture the owl. I was lucky enough to see the movement of owl and keep track of it for two hours. The huge surprise was that it hooted about twenty times in ten minutes, something I wasn’t expecting. Owl watching gives you magic moments, every once in a while, and this was something special.
