Hunting In Plain Sight

Tonight, the Snowy Owl appeared in her regular perch, but stayed in the trees of the Compost Heap for over two hours. I was able to get dinner and return before she left!

She then went to backstop #11 and stayed for about 30 minutes before hunting a Brown Rat almost right in front of us on a park path that leads to the Recreation Center. I heard the rat cry as it was killed.

She stayed on the ground for a few minutes before flying to the infield of ball field 10. I thought there was snow, but it was water on the ground. She took her time eating and finally finished by eating a large piece whole around 11:45. She didn’t do as much cleaning and playing in the grass as she had in the snow, but she did do some before flying off.
