Follow the adventures of Merlin the screech owl and Minerva his mate
Merlin approves of the renovation work we did on his house last week (new roof). He was back to inspect the premises, and then he brought in a fresh rodent kill. So he’s resumed paying the rent via rodent eradication efforts. Thank you Merlin! 🦉 🧙♂️

After five years in the elements, Minerva and Merlin’s owl box was leaking badly, and desperately needed a new roof. Fortunately, Merlin cooperated yesterday evening by vacating the premises, so we got busy in the shop and whipped up a new cedar roof that should keep them dry and cozy for several more seasons. We also refreshed the aspen shavings inside, so the house is all ready for our illustrious tenants. Next up, a new exterior merlincam, coming soon. Stay tuned! 🦉 🧙♂️
And then there were three. Behold the fuzzballs, eyes open now, in full rugby scrum/cuddle mode. Sadly, the fourth owlet was taken yesterday by an invading mammal of some kind (large squirrel? All we saw was a bushy tail exiting the nest box in the one video clip we got of the event). A terrible moment in this nesting season. 😔
