Two Visits

Early this morning, about 2:50 am we had two brief owl visits, presumably by Mrs. Owl. She did some looking around at the furniture, and a little bit of rearranging the nesting materials.

When we woke up, we found the box occupied, and thought nesting had started. But closer inspection revealed it was a squirrel, doing her own rearrangement of the nesting materials. We quickly went down with a long stick and tapped on the box, which sent her fleeing.

Both visitors looked like they were investigating a possible future home.
