Very interesting "happenings" at the box last night!!! (8/24)

Removing the nasty prey and replacing with fresh...

I never figured out what this was all about...it looks like something was removed from the box, but I really have no clue...

...and for reference in case it moves..

I emailed Carole and this is her reply:

"The young male is flying fine and appears to be accommodating to perching. Our only
concern is whether or not he is capable of catching his own food or is being partially
subsidized by Zeus. The quail we have put out periodically is being eaten but we're not sure by whom. Going to try a trail camera to see if we can get a picture. At any rate,
we don't know if he'll leave (the young female has gone) or try to stick around."

Thanks for sharing the email, gigi....if the cam wouldn't time out, I could keep my recorder on it to see if anybody is entering the box...

maybe what I saw was the trail camera going into the box rather than something coming out. I think there were 2 people up there...1 with the arms and another on the left side of the box. Of course the cam timed out in the middle of all the action, so no telling what I missed..

:egg16: IT'S 3AM AND I SEE THE PREY HAS BEEN MOVED DOWN A LITTLE AND TO THE FAR RIGHT OF SCREEN! WONDER IF A BIRD OR SMALL MAMMAL THAT IS ACTIVE @ NIGHT IS DOING THIS?

Thanks SGB. I hope they are able to get a look at the leg. Carole says he seems to be doing okay and they are guessing that Zeus may be supplementing him. I do not believe they have seen him take prey on his own, but that is not impossible.

IS SOMETHING HANGING OFF THE ROOF RIGHT NOW OR IS THAT COMPUTER GENERATED? I SEE YOUR PICS SKYGIRLBLUE ... SO THEY ARE CHANGING OUT PREY OR TRYING TO ARRANGE AND DISPLAY IT IN VIEW MORE OFTEN THAN WE MAY SEE ... :egg19:

:egg8: I see the quail is still there - does that mean Zeus is not overly fond of it? I wonder if it is more like quail jerky by now....

:egg8: Good morning, I don't see any nibbles... did a person move the quail over so it doesn't bake in the sun all day?
