This getting to be long-term building up observations on how these raptors operate and how that operation relates to keeping chickens. If I actually see young owls this year then we will officially have a pattern where the owls appear to fledge young every third year. We will also start placing game cameras out into the more brushy areas where I think the owls actually spend the most time actually hunting. It is that type of area that my property likely has much more of compared to average chicken keepers.
This will be year 6. Previous years can be found through link below.
