It has been a long time!

Catching up. First, an update on Chester and Greta. Unfortunately they both disappeared a few years back, but a young and very shy male showed up a year later, perhaps one of their last clutch. I call him Chester Jr. He called and called for a whole year, then finally started getting calls back. They roosted somewhere down back, but at the same time some Red-shouldered hawks set up camp in the next neighbors yard, which unfortunately overlapped with their territory. This spring, right when I should have been hearing a fledgling owl, I found a bunch of owl feathers, then a week later part of a leg. First image. Chester Jr now is calling all of the time, I hope he finds another mate.
