  Overnight News: ~Treat Total: 13;

~Noelle out 2:45am, immediately fell, finally back to box (perch) at 4:52, back inside at 5:02am (2hr 17min) ~thanks to Terros, dizzyts, coulee, hundon, statOR, Lone

"There could have been one less treat, as one big one brought by Willow I think was not left-- Willow came back out with it, and flew away with it.  She did this the night before.  I am thinking this is part of "the plan"-- she goes in with treat, "teases" them with it, then leaves with it-- showing them "if you want food, you kids must come outside".

Noelle came out very late.  When she came out at 2:45, she missed the perch, and fell-- caught herself by her wings (end to end across perch)-- with feet dangling in air (I hated to laugh but had to)-- but finally had to give up and just let go and fall.

She then spent until 4:52 climbing all around box, trying to get down to box-- she approached from both sides, and would get on top of box, but didn't make it down to perch again until 4:42am.  Then she went back in the box at 5:02am, a total of 2hr 17min out.

She (assuming Noelle) poked head way out again after getting first light, but decided (I guess) that it was too near daylight for another outing.  Whew." LoneStar / 7:30am PDT

Update from Jill:

Thanks for great pix Coulee! Last night at dusk I went outside to watch. A total of THREE owls ended up coming out of Palm Tree next door. First one came out, landed in another tree, and it was light enough to watch with binoculars!  Meanwhile, I could hear Bear and Willow bonding before they too came out.

All three circled the house a minute, then Bear and Willow back in tree to bond again while I lost track of third owl! Then treats starting coming in quickly. Five in 25 minutes!
