This picture tells an interesting story. We were sitting on Ustream chatting when PPO stood up and hauled a rat out from the side of the pot plant. She took the rat in her talons and flew off with it to the neighbour's roof.
Here she is with this rat from the nest. Minutes later ,she flew back with the same rat?
Not sure why. Perhaps she didn't want to leave food in the nest for the hungry chicks to eat?
Thanks for the great picture! Was wondering what she was doing when she took the rat out, then brought it back! Thought maybe that she didn't want to leave it alone with the owlets. Too big to eat on their own?
