Nature Done Wright

Very early the other morning, I activated the nest-box cams to see if Ace (or Mrs. Ace) was in the owl box. She was.
   I hit the switch to check on the new wood duck cam, and to my surprise, there was an owl jumping around inside. By the time I got the camera ready, the owl was gone.

   It turned out that the new cam does not provide as wide an angle as the owl cam — the new owl was sitting in the opening. I fired off a couple of pictures by the dawn’s early light and got this barely usable one (below).
  But there are two owls in the area, and it is getting into breeding season, so things could get interesting.
