Bully Bird Chases Frack
Yesterday Frack showed up & spent the day inside the owl house. 1st time in 2 years. She had a peaceful day, only once did a startled squirrel take a look inside. This morning she came inside for about 1 minute then left again around 5 am. Dawn came and went, no owl. I figured I was out of luck. After breakfast I checked & she was inside, unusual to come in later in the morning like that. The video of her coming in had the explanation. Apparently she was roosting in a tree near the box and an aggressive blue jay sounded the alarm & chased her inside the box. Glad it is her safe place & fingers crossed she raises babies in there this season. In this video you can hear the jay screaming and her clicking her beak at the bully. Also the alarm sound of a cardinal.
