Frack Takes A Break From Brooding
I can only guess at what is going on inside my backyard owl house. Frack has been in residence 28 days now. The pecan tree is leafing out, providing shade above her. For the first week she was in the opening most of the day, enjoying the warmth and view. Then she changed over to being out of sight all day and I would only see her maybe once, at random times. This behavior indicates she is sitting on eggs. On this day she peeked out at 5:19 pm. It was the only time I saw her that day and she was back inside within a minute. My first proof of babies will be when a cute, fuzzy bobblehead peeks out. I can't wait for that day. Fingers crossed.
