Pendulum Owl
The Burrowing Owl, missing yesterday, is back this morning. Today it chose Perch B, meaning the spot near the big Fennel bush where a park visitor can see it from the paved perimeter path. Can see at least the top of its head. To get the photo below I had to set the camera with the tripod as high as it would go.

This owl has been switching like a pendulum between Perch A and Perch B. Is there a pattern to its shuttling?

I wonder if it has a slightly less-favored Perch C that it occupies on the ? days when it isn’t visible in either A or B.
What an excellent graphic! I was thinking just today that I wish there were a record of its peregrinations. Thank you!
