Sunday, 3-26-06 through Saturday, 4-1-06

Sunday was a fairly standard fly out.

Monday, an Eastern-Screech Owl and a Saw-Whet Owl were found dead in the park.  The Eastern-Screech Owl was banded.  Our owl takes a long time to appear which starts me worrying.  She finally appears around 6 p.m.

On Tuesday we learn that the Eastern Screech-Owl found dead was a Red Morph.  Sadly, this means the Eastern Screech-Owl we’re watching may now be the only one in the Southern section of the park.  This evening we are led by constant calling on a long trip up into the Humming Tombstone area of the Ramble.  It looks like the owl is insect catching (moths?), high in the upper branches of budding trees.

Wednesday, she quickly gives us the slip.

Thursday, her standard perch, then her next favorite perch and then she give us the slip.

Friday and Saturday, I spend in other areas of the park.
