BIG BEAR CA.

In the last days the couple looks like preparing the nest seriously

2-3 days ago I saw a fish eaten on the nest. Yesterday, they brought much fresh "hay"; not similar to european...

They are kissing and working around.

10:20 this morning they started to "try" the nest they are sitting on the hay and were around during the morning.

Looks like we'll have eggs for christmas

[Rita]

Let's hope not. Early eggs means a high probability of death for the chicks. Finger crossed for late egg laying.

16:53 She came again, sitting on nothing...

16:54 the cams turn to night mode.

16:57 He came too; both are checking the hay...

Now he is testing the "bed"

17:02 Both left for the night.

About the timing: I agree that it's better on the second period, but they are not asking for our permission

09:43 Jacky came ane rearranged the nest for another test

10:23 She left!

16:40 She is back to close the day.
16:52 She left and the cam turned to night mode.

Abigyl, thanx for reporting

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17th

BIG BEAR CA.

09:54 A morning visit by both - working and testing as usual.

16:47 She arrived and was lying down in the nest bowl
It's a real wonder to watch her arriving daily exactly at the end of daylight; when cam is turning automatically to night mode

16:52 She flew away. Another day of preparations is over.

16:38 She arrived and moved some sticks
16:48 She was calling
16:49 She flew away.

16:50 She came back and was digging the nest for a minute.'
16:52 H2 followed with a big complicated branch. They were looking for a good place for it.
16:53 It was getting dark and cam was changing.

17:01 They left!

[Polly]

Wow Liz... impressive and beautiful photos.
Beautiful animal!

Thank you!

[Liz01]

Polly I miss Bubo & Bo, but this owl is beautiful too

her arrival with the prey. I think it is a rabbit.




She is still in the nest and is resting after the good meal

[Polly]

I miss Bubo & Bo...

Me too.

[Liz01]

5:40 It takes a long time for her, to eat the prey.

[Liz01]
