Throw Me a Bone Here!

Ok, so the last time I made an entry, I was griping about not seeing any owls. Well, that weekend we were hanging out and heard two male owls hooting outside our barracks (we have two owl sites close to Blodgett). One came in closer. We ran out and played with him. Maybe the owls were throwing me a bone and coming in for a glimpse. :)

Last weekend we went to Bassi Falls near one of our sites. It was WAY easy to get to and was pretty cool. The water was FREAKING cold, but it was fun climbing all around on the rocks and "frollicking" with my partners-in-crime.
"Frollicking indeed"

Yesterday we were going out to catch an owl pair, but we found some cross-country bikers that were trying to get to a highway from the forest road we were on. It’s still snowed in up to that intersection. They had to turn back. When we came across them it was getting really dark and was quite cold out. Poor ladies. They looked so cold!! Needless-to-say, we didn’t get to our site ‘til WAY late and didn’t find the birds.

We stayed the night at our last site and did a morning walk-in on our owls. Found them. They were too wary and “chicken-shit” for us to catch this morning so we’re trying again tonight when they’ll be hungrier and not so sleepy. (They flew to their roost tree and fell asleep on us! :)

Wish me luck! :)
