Nature Done Wright

   First thing Tuesday morning, I went to see what was going on with owl box. Mrs. Ace was perched in the opening, with her egg below.

   She made the following brief call repeatedly, with maybe a half-minute of silence in between each trill. (Download WS_30127.wma
to hear Mrs. Ace calling) 

   The first thing I noticed is that the egg has changed shape — it seems rounder than yesterday. Don’t know what to think of that.

   Mrs. Ace flew out again briefly, perched in the opening, then hopped into the box.

   She  crammed some of the feathers tighter into the gap in door (see photo).

    Then she arched her wings around the egg and settled in for the day — while some of us had to go to work.
