Gourmet Treat

June is now doing most of the daytime hunting as she is seen here bringing back a tasty squirrel for the boys. She entered the nest and carefully parceled it up between Wally and Theodore. Both were on their best behavior and there was no pushing or stealing. Wally has made two more leaps into the doorway and seems to be more comfortable in that lofty position than he was the first few times. Theodore is not making similar progress and has yet to come close to reaching the doorway. He uses a different technique from Wally in which he hooks his beak over the top rung of the owlet ladder and tries to pull himself up. It is not working and I expect him to switch to Wally's leaping approach soon. Ward and June can be heard calling to the young owls throughout the night. June uses her whine and Ward his wail. I still expect them to leave within the next few days, but Theodore has some serious catching up to do. There were at least three food deliveries last night and two more today. The bees and owls are still living in peace inside the nest, but crow activity is picking up outside. This could seriously restrict outside activity by Wally and Theodore.
