Backyard and Beyond

For the ninth anniversary of this blog, some Great Horned Owl.January 26.February 3. (The hollering Blue Jays abated for a moment.)(But only a moment.)February 10. For three weekends, vocal Blue Jays have pointed their piecing calls to a roosting Great Horned Owl. Different trees each time. Given that 9 out of 10 times, the Blue Jays seem to be screaming for no discernible reason, this has been amazing. In this last instance, the Jays were going at it when a Red-tailed Hawk flew into the scene, to perch briefly about parallel to the owl, before flying off. 

The very first post here.

The very next post after that, with the plan of attack.
