but I still found no sign of nest. I'm sure
however that at least must be there.
Moving chicks from and meets 3 & 4.
Oldest ones. Does male feed them? Do they
return to nest? Was their leaving material
prompted by my visits? Walked areas
around nests & could not find them. Found
one at nest #4 & put it in enclosure.
July 14. Distraction display of 87 owl. I have seen &
heard the bird do this several times but usually
at a distance & usually he disappears behind
tussocks so that I could not see his actions
once on the ground. Saw 2 good ones on
part of male of nest #3. First one he
down down, flew along the ground, perhaps
2-3 feet up, wings out & beat in a
shallow arc like so [illegible] & fluttered
along making hoarse anxious cries
ghi ghi ghi etc. Landed & turned
& looked at me (path along ground away
from me) made several other cries while standing
watching me. Did another as I got closer
To nest. Done flew along very close to ground
1-2 feet & this time clapped wings beneath
his body as he flew. Wings seemed to
scraper on vegetation as he did it & it was done
in short bursts. Uttered cries while doing
it.
