On Monday Feb 5th, I decided to take the people on my Bird Walk up to see the owl. I had people from California, Washington, Oregon, and Colorado. The California people were Mike and Jan Wacker from Chico who had attended my bird walks at Buckskin Mountain years ago, and have continued to stay in contact with us. I wasn't 100% sure the owl would be there, but it was, and everyone was delighted. I am now some what certain we have a nesting female. It even appears she has managed to move a rock to the front of the cave. You can notice the difference by looking at the former post. Perhaps her lower profile suggests she is sitting on eggs. I will continue to update as soon as we are back at Cattail Cove, right now we are taking couple of days off in Parker to bird with John West at Ahakhav Tribal Preserve, see the bird list here, and shop for groceries.
Her bed was too lumpy! I wouldn't want to sit on that rock either!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elva. Good point. I was also thinking perhaps she wanted to prevent any eggs from rolling out of the cave.
