For the twelve days before Christmas, REF Directors Peter and Marie, heard this beautiful little owl calling early morning and early evening. However, they hadn't seen it, even once. On Christmas Eve morning all that changed. As first light crept in from the east, it was still pretty dark when Marie heard two of these owls calling back and forth around Casa Adobe where they were staying. Marie found them near the front entrance of Adobe, but could only catch momentary glimpses in very poor light. Then, a third owl began to call, but none of them were visible for more than just a fleeting moment....then they vanished.
As the sun rose over the forest ridges, the temperatures warmed and the tree tops were in brilliant morning sun. Peter was back inside the house editing videos when Marie came in and told him to grab his gear and follow her. There, up in the bare branches, perched a tiny, rust-colored ball of fluff. He stayed there for an hour as Peter drained several batteries recording everything that happened. This is the first of more videos to come. If you love owls, stay tuned to our media posts and tell your friends!
