Well apparently a great horned owl has taken up residence. From the pictures on Google it is not a barn owl it is a great horned. That’s cool! A friend of mine suggested that I see if I can collect some of the pellets under where it is regularly roosting. That is a great idea! Wish I had thought of it first :-)
It has been there at least 4 days and I have already bothered it 2 of those days taking pictures so I think I will leave it in peace for a week. Since I now know where to look, I can see it from way down below and don’t have to bother it. If it’s still there after a week maybe I will see if I can collect some pellets without disturbing it too much.
