Two Headed Owl (per LisaLassie) Sept 15 10 pm

Special Overnight Report from LoneStar

1:44am Pearl left flying and wasn't back by the time I left  <<< Last from TweetK in her report
 1:4?am Pearl returns  (exact time uncertain)
1:5? Belle goes down left, flying

2:01 Belle climbing back up HP Left, to top, then flew to top of box

2:36 treat to Pearl, VOLE, took inside, ate whole in minutes "NO way you're stealing this one Belle!!"

4:53a Belle to HP-R (hitching post right)

5:03a Belle hop/fly back over to porch, then inside

5:03a Pearl on side of box, squeezing behind mister tubing

5:03a Belle back out on perch

?:??a  Belle over to HP for ~15 min

5:19a - Now Pearle is on the HP, fly-hop from side of owlbox

?:??a  Pearl comes back to porch

6:17am Belle goes in the box (for morning?)
            Pearl (already inside)

Just the Factz Overnight Report: 1 vole from Roy to Pearl 2:36am.  Pearl took 1st flight over to the Lookout at 7:57pm for 8 mins. Belle decided to try her wings and took off at 10:38pm for 13 mins.
 Overview from around 1:45am through 5:20am--
 

No more flyabouts by owlets, but several branching moves by both owlets, one Belle to HP-left, and a couple others by Belle and Pearl to HP-right.

Treat delivery 2:36am; looked like Dale but acted like Roy (so unsure), a good-sized vole passed to Pearl... took inside, and ate within minutes.

 Belle went in and watched her eat but Pearl said "Nope, Belle, I don't trust you now, no stealies on this one - GULP...!!"  They were mostly outside (their favorite position, right porch) all this period (if not branching), but would wander into the box very briefly, occasionally.

In case not mentioned later, looked to me like last owlet in (Belle) at approx 6:17am,   Still pretty dark, before sunrise 6:32am.  Pearl had already gone in short time before.  No "Excellent Daytime Adventure" this morning.  Maybe everyone tired from flyabouts and branching?

ADDENDUM:  After reviewing Tweets video of treat delivery, I really think delivery was by DALE.

~LoneStar
Have a good day everyone.
