March 18, 2017 (Male found?)

This morning we noticed the eggs had been moved; probably by an owl.  A ringtail cat or raccoon would have eaten them.











We used a Fluke Ti25 Thermal Imaging camera to help find the owl (they are really really REALLY hard to spot).  The 'red dot' near the center of the image below is the heat signature of an owl watching over the box.  Male that lost a mate?  Female leaving unfertilized eggs?  We have no way to know.
