The Hemlock Lane Saw-whets

April 3rd: Here's the female Saw-whet at the box. Absolutely cute! The black vignetting is due to taking the digital picture through my spotting scope. The right photograph shows the box on the tree - yes, we still have snow (April 2nd).

 

  April 6th: No eggs, just 10 prey items, 7 Deer Mice, 3 Red-backed Voles.

 

April 15-16th: One egg difference between the two days.
