Sydney arrived at 8:47pm to the tree with the sweet sounds of Mel in the background. Both went in the box and enjoyed many kisses.( Even made the poster blush ) Sad to say that no bonding occurred. Mel left the box first around 10:45 with Sydney leaving 15 minutes later. Sydney has been molting and looking a little aged but still the most beautiful Owl this side of O’Side.. Light rain showed up so the owls may be hunkered down for the night. ©
UPDATE: Was just informed that bonding was seen .
Tid Bit : Barn Owls do not "build" a nest but just before egg laying the female usually makes a shallow scrape in the previous years' nest debris and/or breaks up a few recent pellets creating a soft layer for egg laying
