Screech(ing) owls in the canyon

Joshua Kemper and Nadia Fay dropped us a note on July 1 to say they
spotted 5 western screech owls on the east end of the art building at
the edge of the canyon at about 10:30pm. A breeding pair was hunting
and feeding three young, small owls, only 6-8 inches tall.

Joshua says the owls were “VERY easy to find this time of year…
Adults are quiet but those owlets just won’t shut up– hungry!”

Welcome!

This is the new Reed Canyon Weblog! This site is still very much in the
testing phase. Your comments and suggestions are very welcome.

If anyone would care to donate some money to this effort, we can
get rid of that banner ad at the top of the screen. Just $15/year would
give us an ad-free site.
