At 11:15 am I looked out the window and saw the owl is now sitting in the entry hole. Sunlight is hitting the owl. A good photo op! It is a gray phase.
Chickadees spotted the owl and drove it down into the box. They were even clinging to the entry hole and giving alarm calls. The Chickadees have forgotten about the owl now, 11:35 am. The yard is quiet. Maybe the owl will come up to sit in the entry hole off and on - Chickadees are pretty observant. As in past years, it may sit at the hole before flying out after dusk. You can see the box from the street by parking across from the Blue Spruces at the southwest corner of our house. If you stay in your car the owl will ignore you.
