Klaara shows an interest in Klaus’s doings around the nest trunk by hooting
Tawny owl Kodukakk Strix aluco
We will look a little while back in time on what has happened and is happening in the tawny owl nest hollow, and briefly forward.
Klaara laid the first egg into the nest hollow in the trunk on March 30th, the next ones on April 2nd and 5th: so it works for tawny owls, with intervals of a couple of days. It seems that the egg clutch is complete.

On the threshold of the snow melting Ingmar Muusikus adds one more story about lynx tracking as send off for the winter.
In mid-March I was driving in Kõrvemaa along roads between bogs towards the Kiigumõisa springs. The hope of finding fresh animal tracks was non-existent because of the dense snowfall that had just ended. At a dilapidated farmhouse I stopped. I got out of the car and … a few steps away there were completely fresh lynx tracks! The lynx had passed here no more than 5 minutes ago. An earlier track row would have been erased by the snowfall. With the “hot” tracks in sight the excitement in the soul of the tracker had risen sky-high.
