Mrs. Ace takes a breather

   Every night around dusk, Mrs. Ace starts her whinny. A half-hour or so later, she takes off for a little while.

   I had figured she was out doing a little hunting.

   (Note: If you are reading this while eating, you might want to come back to this post after you are done.)

   I figured wrong. According to my owl expert friends, Mrs. Ace takes wing to (to be blunt) defecate, cough up pellets of undigested prey and drink water perhaps.

    I’d like to think she’s alleviating some cabin fever, too.  But hunting is Mr. Ace’s job.
