Owlet Treat Report Sep 3 / 4 and Interesting Happenings

From our friends in chat, another nice summary of last night's feasting:

"3 mice before 1am, McGee brought at least one (chat was paused);  molly mouse 2:35am; Molly rat 2:50am; Molly 4:30am big rodent; 5:17 McMoll big p-gopher"

Thanks whitedog!


Other interesting happenings:

• Molly watches owlets squawk for a while, then goes in the box and pulls out (from where?) a heretofore unknown pantry half-rat, tries to re-gift
• Ashley grabs half-rat, starts to work; Carrie squawks louder
• Molly watches and waits outside, finally goes back in, takes the half-rat, tries to shred it but is beaked and poked by hungry owlets and leaves.
• Molly brings in a mouse, Ashley inhales it. 
• After more squawking, Molly goes back inside, pushes owlets out of the way, and shreds and "tenderizes" the half-rat; still no luck. Carrie squawking.
• Finally says "Do I have to do everything around here?" Goes back inside, grabs half-rat, and starts shredding and eating and feeding a bit. This continues until enough of the half-rat is gone for it to be swallowed. I don't know who did it. 

Ouch, that hurts!

 

Can you do it Ashley?

   

Fine, I'll do it!

Also: 

• Molly has in-air "dog fight" with unknown smaller visiting owl and hangs out on top of the box for long time, watching.....

Have a great owl day!
