It was an unexpected bird tour, without too much planning and aimed at a few target species, of which we saw most, but the main one eluded us… Early morning, leaving the last houses behind… and a Little Owl awaits us on a traffic sign. Despite the rainy forecast, the weather was pleasantly tropical: sun, a short shower and more sun.

Current well-intentioned environmental pressures to emphasize harvesting large dead or dying trees, if realized, would have further adverse effects on such ecologically and esthetically important species as woodpeckers, swallows, wrens, nuthatches, and owls – to name a few 1.” Talk about cute! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWDXIhy9oJA

Owls are a little different. They don’t build nests and some like Great Horned Owls take over old hawk or squirrel nests. Before baby owls (like the above Great Horned Owl chicks) are able to fly, they go through what is called a “brancher phase.&# Their feet are already fully grown and very strong.

If you live near water, you can try some duck nesting tubes. I see them all over in marshes in Minnesota but I had never seen a duck use one. I was shocked when I saw a hen Mallard actually incubating eggs in one of these things–they do work…and how do the mallards get in there?

A large number of ground squirrels – Columbian by my best guess — would emerge in the morning and evening birdy hours, apparently not dissuaded from their business by the presence of nesting Red-Tailed Hawks nearby, and proceed to form a most welcome distraction from the tedious business of waiting for the duck to deign to appear.
