Hello all,
Over the last couple of months I've spent many a cold night watching a
family of Masked Owls in the Awaba Forest west of Lake Macquarie
(central coast, NSW).
I've put the first part of what will probably be a three part series of
photographs and recordings of the owls up on my website
(www.wildlifing.com).
They were fascinating to watch. The nest was in a large Angophora
costata. Both parents were pale phase birds but the offspring were
something else! Both the male and female would give little calls that
indicated to the owlets that they should start screeching as their
parents were coming in with food. The female usually brought in Bush
Rats, the male either House Mouse or Brown Antechinus.
Cheers
Mick
