MONDAY MYSTERY: The Prime Suspect
I am not sure if the above video solves the CSI mystery I posted on Monday, but we do have evidence of the likely culprit returning to the scene of the body drop. He stayed for 80 minutes before heading out again (the corpse vanished,too), and spent all day Sunday in the box.
Curiously, he has not returned since then that I know of.
Que sera, sera.
In case you are wonderng, last year he did stay in the box full-time until late February.
By the way, for non-TV watchers, "CSI" stands for "Crime Scene Investigation."

Sorry — I tried using a “green” video provider…. I think they went out of business…
I don’t think that one is on YouTube, but if you haven’t seen Screech Owl Jamboree…. -
I’ve just become a fan of screech owls and like your site. The video above it not visible in my safari browser. Great site.

Interesting how different this year has been Jim. I’ve had no luck to date which isn’t very different from last year. I had an ESO roosting in my birch tree but nothing in the box. I’d love to know why your owls are acting so different this year – is it the weather, prey availability, mate availability or simply a different pair altogether? We’ll never know the answers but the questions still remain for me.

CSI-Special Owl Unit is very intriguing up to now.Episode 2 should be fascinating.
BI finally brought my 3rd grade grandnephew to the farm for the 1st time yesterday. You should have seen his eyes-big as saucers. I have talked about it so long and he has all the kids books of the farm. Very sweet time.
“This is better than my mind imagined,” he said. Doesn’t get any better than that, does it?
Thanking you all for all you do at the Farm.
