I had to escape the craziness of the owl irruption in the Duluth area for southern Florida, and we all know I love owls. Instead I watched two Monk Parakeets this morning involved with nest construction in a Palm Tree down … totally cool … just me and the two birds!

And the nearby Burrowing Owls which could not hold my interest … LOL!

A TV news item this evening is about the owl irruption in NE MN. Wished you were here to be interviewed Rich. You could have added much to the story.
I just watched a replay. The premise of the newscast is wrong. This summer the owls had a banner year of reproducing due to an abundance of voles … thus NOT because starvation.
wow- i’ve read about these birds for many years. so beautiful to see them. thanks so much for finding and sharing! we were pretty cold here this morning!
Awwwww the poor owls! The monk parakeets are reproducing like crazy. They sure are cute though!
