The Intruder Owl has been visiting the nest each evening and intercepting rodents delivered by "dad". We have not confirmed "mom" on camera since 6/25/24. After consulting with a local wildlife rehabilitation center, it was recommended that we do a supplemental feeding of a dozen rodents daily to help this state-threatened species.
