Observation details

Over the last several days, 1 barred owl has been sitting on the same branch in the same large white pine within Carpenter's Woods. Since at least Sunday 3/15 the second barred owl has been heard calling from across Wissahickon Ave. (I had presumed this was the female, possibly at nest). Today, for the first time, both barred owls have been in that pine within Carpenter's Woods, all day. At 6:45 the female flew into a nearby white oak where she remained until 7:20, when she flew back into the pine. She then flew back out almost immediately to a deciduous tree just across the path from their white pine; the male followed; they copulated. (She remained, he returned to his perch in the pine.)
