Katydids

The evening of the 26th was a katydid feast, with Mr. Owl bringing 5 between sundown and midnight. Mrs. Owl was out of the box from 8:02-8:10pm for her evening break, and briefly again from 10:05-10:09pm.

Then after midnight, it seemed to switch to dark bugs, perhaps June bugs or even spiders, but only 3 total. So, the observed total was 8 good-sized insects for the night. I wonder whether that was the sum of the calories she ate, but it is very possible Mr. Owl provided something during one of her breaks. She took morning breaks from 5:45-5:51, and 6:57-7:02.
