On Wednesday, we found the Long-eared Owl in a new tree where the owl must have gotten some afternoon sun. The owl flew out to saplings on the hill between the nursery and compost but quickly went to the “rat’s nest”, a tangle of brush next to a dumpster. It made a few hunting passes before flying to a small tree by the side of the East Drive. It went down to the ground, most likely caught a mouse and then flew up and down the East Drive before going in the direction of the Wildflower Meadow.
