uhhhh yeah, someone could..... :-)
during the day the owls usually sleep in the holly trees near the new
construction behind Pettigrew Hall (the last few times I've been by they
were both sleeping a few ft. apart in the tallest holly). Sometimes only one
is present and sometimes by later in day songbirds or crows have chased them
out of those trees. Occasionally, early morning (before they go to sleep) I
find the male roosting on the large gap in the old Davie Poplar. The female
may also use the nesthole (which is near the Davie Pop.) to roost in. After
dusk they tend to cavort over the entire back half of the quad (away from
Franklin St.).
And hey, the Chapel Hill newspaper asked me to write something on them
which will be in paper sometime in mid-to-latter January.
