喔，我漏看了右側的環（right ring）。不是 Sparkle。

oh I missed the right ring. Not Sparkle

你說是布滿斑點的（heavily speckled）？可能是 Sparkle！

heavily speckled you say. Could be Sparkle!

斑點很多的雌鳥（heavily speckled female）。

heavily speckled female

嗯，右腳有腳環（right ring）。

hmm right ring

有人知道 23.04 的 FP 上是哪一隻穀倉貓頭鷹（BO）嗎？我從沒看過穀倉貓頭鷹這麼細緻地吃一個「doc」。

any idea which bo is on fp 23.04 never seen a bo eat a doc so delicate

天啊，松鼠也跑到 Beech 那邊了，還有……

oh my the squirrels have gotten to Beech, also

一隻松鼠（squirrel）和一大堆樹葉（leaves）。

Squirrel and a bunch of leaves.

山毛櫸樹樁（beech stump）裡的是誰？

who is in beech stump?

22:39:28，穀倉貓頭鷹（BO, barn owl）正在追兩隻白鼬（stoats），MW。

22.39.28 BO chasing 2 stoats MW

21:22:14，右腳有腳環的穀倉貓頭鷹（right-ringed BO）停在圍欄柱（FP）上。

21.22.14 right ringed BO on FP

是食物啦，笑死（food lol），不是手機。

food lol not phone

我想 REF 注意到了，因為牠在補充 MW 的時候，BO 同時在 FP 上拉扯食物（tugging at food）。

i think ref noticed it, as he was stocking mw the bo was on fp at same time tugging at phone x

嗨，REF 👋，正在替 FP 和 MW 補充存量（stocking up）。

Hi REF 👋 stocking up Fp and MW 🥰

如果是同一隻貓頭鷹（if it’s the same owl），牠應該非常餓。

if its the same owl its very hungry

20:04，BO、OM 和 MW 正在看 REF 補充 FP 的存量（watching REF stock FP）。

2004 bo om mw watching ref stock fp

20:03，REF 出現了（REF is here）。

2003 REF is here

我也是這樣判斷的——瞧我說得好像自己是專家似的（'hark at me'）。不過牠在 Groot 上時，我看不到任何閃亮斑點（'sparkles'）。

That was my conclusion too @BoydGirl0 - hark at me, like I'm an expert. But couldn't see any sparkles when on Groot.

最近有一隻獲救的雌性穀倉貓頭鷹一直在附近活動，但這隻看起來比較像雄性。

There's been a rescued female hanging around, but this one looks more like a male.

幾天前前方平台（FP）上還有另一隻未確認身分的雌性個體，但我不認為是她，因為她翅膀上方的顏色非常灰，斑紋裡有很多「眼睛」圖案（'eyes'），而且有明顯的閃亮斑點（'sparkles'）。

There was another unidentified female on the FP a few days ago, but I don't think it's her either, as her wings were very grey at the top with lots of the 'eyes' in the markings - plus clear sparkles

我不認為那是 Rigel、Oak 或 Acorn 中的任何一隻。Rigel 是我第一個想到的（first thought），但她的羽色更偏棕褐色（tan，像 Acorn），而且翅膀上沒有任何白色。

I don't think that it's either Rigel, Oak or Acorn. Rigel was my first thought, but she's much more tan (like Acorn) and doesn't have any white on her wings.

如果也是 Rigel，牠看起來也很蓬鬆。

lush is it was Rigel also

而且飽經風霜（weather-worn）。

and weather worn

看起來有點髒兮兮的（grubby）。

it does look a bit grubby

讓我想起 Rigel。

Reminds me of Rigel

不管現在在前廊（FP, front porch）上的是誰，牠都吃得非常好。

Who ever is on FP , Is having a real good feed ,

18:17，穀倉貓頭鷹（BO, barn owl）還在前廊（FP, front porch）上。

1817 bo still there on fp

Dryers 和 G 的幼鳥（offspring）都還在附近。

and Dryers and G's off spring are still around

我看到一隻松鼠（squirrel）在下午 1 點把葉子帶進去。

i saw a squirrel bringing leaves in 1pm

我在想，叫 Acorn、Oak 或 Ace 都會很棒；牠之前似乎就是這樣。

i am thinking acorn or oak or ace would be lovely it was

18:09，穀倉貓頭鷹（BO, barn owl）還在前廊（FP, front porch）上，而且是白天；很有機會辨識身分，我同意 flyingfoxmeep 的看法。

18.09 bo still on fp and daylight, good chance for id, i agree flyingfoxmeep

（本來會是很棒的巢（nest），但 Luna……）

(Would be a great nest, but Luna... :_Tawnyowl:)

我剛剛倒帶回看松鼠（squirrel）。可憐的小傢伙，以為自己找到好地方了。

I was just rewinding to see the squirrel.🐿 Poor fellow, thinks it has found a good place 🥺

這裡的灰松鼠（grey squirrels）最近也變得比較活躍。雖然牠們是這裡的原生種，但我確實擔心牠們會跑進閣樓（attic）。

The grey squirrels here have also been more active here lately. While they’re native here I do worry about them getting into the attic.

很有可能；如果距離夠近，總部（HQ, headquarters）應該能讀到牠的腳環（ring）。

It very well could be close up enough that the ring can be read by HQ

我也看到 Groot 上有一隻穀倉貓頭鷹（BO, barn owl），很漂亮，但不知道牠是誰。

I also saw the BO on groot, beautiful but dont know who it is :_Barnowl:

也許是 Jasper？（mayhaps）

Jasper mayhaps?

而且同一時間 FP 上還有一隻雄性紅隼（male kestrel），看起來不像 Apollo。

and also male kestrel on the FP at the same time, doesn't look like Apollo

會是哪一隻呢？（hoo could it be）

hoo could it be

沒錯，又是同一個腳環（ring）。

Yup right ring again

這是我這幾天內第二次看到牠了，我在想會不會是同一隻？

second time I've seen it in the last few days I wonder if it's the same one?

這個近距離畫面（close-up）真清晰。

such a clean close up

那真是罕見的景象（rare sight）。

thats a rare sight

我敢肯定 Robert 很快就會來張貼驅離通知（eviction notices）。雖然松鼠很可愛，但我們的猛禽需要那些巢箱 💚

I'm sure Robert will be along to serve eviction notices before long. As cute as the squirrels are, our raptors need those nestboxes 💚

Natasha-v812g，我想是的；今天我也看到大群的雁往南飛。（第六感〔sixth sense〕）

Natasha-v812g, Ithink so; Today i also saw large groups of geese heading South. ( sixth sence)

每次牠們很快就會被清理掉。

every time they are cleared shortly

這種情況偶爾會在所有巢位發生。

it does happen from time to time in all the nests

我今年稍早才開始追蹤，Beech 之前也發生過這種情況嗎？

I’ve only started following earlier this year, has this happened at Beech before?

我完全不記得以前看過松鼠出現這種情況，也許牠們能感知到我們感覺不到的事物。可能是動物本能（animal instincts），也許牠們察覺到大規模的天氣或氣候變化。

I don't ever recall seeing anything like this before with the squirrels, maybe they can sense something we cant. Animal instincts, maybe they sense a massive weather or climate change situation

看這些松鼠行動也很令人驚嘆，牠們顯然是有任務在身（on a mission）。

Its also amazing watching these squirrels in action, definitely on a mission

糟了，Luna 要暴走了！謝謝大家提供的所有時間點（TS，timestamps）。追蹤這些發展真的很有意思。

Oh no Luna’s going to go ballistic! Thanks for all the TS’s everyone. Very interesting to follow all the goings on

那是露娜的家，你們去找自己的啦（get your own, guys）。

thats lunas house, get your own guys

我很佩服牠們的勤奮（diligence），但各位啊（y'all），你們挑錯巢洞了啦。

I appreciate their diligence but y'all are choosing the wrong cavities guys

天啊（oh boy），我才離開一小時，松鼠又把另一個巢位封住了，笑死（lol）。

oh boy I leave for an hour an squirrels blocked off another nest lol

最近松鼠活動好多。我最近主要拍到的是松鼠照片，而不是鳥類照片。牠們真的非常活躍。

oh so much squirrel activity. I have mainly been getting squirrel photos instead of bird photos recently. They are so active

喔，天啊，Beech Stump 也被松鼠佔據了嗎？Ash Hollow 已經被松鼠大軍佔滿了 😂

Oh dear, not Beech Stump as well, Ash Hollow has already been squirrelled 😂

她把整個畫面都遮住了，笑死，現在什麼都看不到。

She covered the entire view, lol, now nothing is visible.

她是一個討人喜歡的女孩（sweet girl）。

she was a sweet girl

我很想念 Fern 那隻鳥（Fern bird）。

I miss the Fern bird

大家早安（Good morning everyone）。

Good morning everyone

她剛剛確實用「borb」這個詞來稱呼一隻「towlet」，至少這點值得加分 😆

she did just use the term "borb" for a towlet so that gets her points at least 😆

我也看過延遲孵卵（delayed incubation）的情況。

I’ve seen delayed incubation too

我最近讀到的許多熱門野生動物／自然類回憶錄，都包含不少這種基礎、而且很容易被反駁的錯誤資訊 😮‍💨

a lot of the popular wildlife / nature memoirs I've been coming across lately have a bunch of basic, easily refutable misinformation like that 😮‍💨

例如，她剛剛才說灰林鴞在產下第一顆蛋後，就會立刻開始為整窩卵（clutch）孵卵（incubating）……但我們親眼觀察 Luna 的情況，牠們並不會這樣 😕

like she just stated tawnies start incubating their clutches immediately upon laying the first egg... we've observed firsthand with Luna, they don't 😕

喔，我正在讀一本回憶錄（memoir），內容大量描述作者當地的灰林鴞（tawny owls），但她一直把灰林鴞的相關知識寫錯 😖，真的令人非常挫折。

ohh I am reading a book that's a memoir heavily involving the author's local tawny owls and she keeps getting tawny facts wrong 😖 incredibly frustrating

希望 Ghost 能再組建一個家庭。

I hope Ghost has another family

Ghost 還有另一個家庭 🙌

Ghost has another family 🙌

我得去移車。我真希望 Ghost……

I had to move my car. I do hope Ghosr

也許我們不需要知道所有的婚姻生活（conjugal lives）吧！

Perhaps we don’t need to know about all conjugal lives!

許多雌鳥在孵蛋期間通常都有（例如 Fern 的情況，是曾經有過）長時間離開的時期，所以很可能他是其中某隻幼鳥的生父。

a lot of the females often have (or had, in for example Fern's case) long absences during brooding time, so odds are he's the baby-daddy for one of 'em

如果他之後從未再次交配，我會非常驚訝；但我不認為當時真的有發現任何證據。

I'd be very surprised if he never mated again, but I don't think anything was ever actually discovered

Ghost 在 Willow 之後，是否曾被懷疑有過其他伴侶？

Was there ever any suspicion of Ghost having another mate after Willow?

而且我們不需要讓 Fotherdale 的家族關係圖變得更加錯綜複雜。

and we don't need the family shrub of Fotherdale getting ever more entangled

如今他們似乎已經達成某種平衡；如果他們有一天再次嘗試求偶，肯定會很有趣，不過我懷疑這不會發生。

they do seem to have reached an equilibrium nowadays, it'd certainly be interesting if they ever took another crack at courtship, I doubt it'll happen though

嗨，@ptnickb，也許等事情穩定下來後，REF 會再做一次「誰是誰」（Who’s who）介紹！

Hello @ptnickb perhaps when things settle down REF might attempt another ‘Who’s who’!

他當時還相當年輕，所以她拒絕了他；不過即便如此，接下來幾個月她仍會干擾他向其他雌鳥求偶——有點像「我不要他，但你們也別想得到他」的心態！

he was rather young at the time so she rejected him, but nevertheless she disrupted his courtship with *other* females for several months - a sort of "I don't want him but you can't have him" thing!

也許 Ghost 那種傻氣又天真的個性，正是 Gylfie 所需要的。畢竟，個性互補的人容易互相吸引！

Maybe Ghost's goofy, innocent ways are just what Gylfie needs. Opposites attract, after all!

抱歉，我剛才離開了一下——對，Ghost 和 Gylfie 過去確實有一段小小的歷史；2020 年冬天 Barney 消失後，他曾是追求 Gylfie 的雄鳥之一。

sorry was afk - yes, Ghost & Gylfie have a little bit of history, he was one of the males courting her after Barney disappeared in winter 2020

你還記得他和 Willow 在一起的時候嗎？

You remember him with Willow?

嗨，@HelgaWright-n9e，我忘了 Ghost 在 Dryer 之前就已經出現了。

Hello @HelgaWright-n9e I forgot that Ghost was here before Dryer

我指的是 Dryer 之前的那段時間。

I was referring to a time before Dryer.

Dryer 曾是這一帶的守護者，我們大家都很想念他。

Dryer was a protector of the area, we all miss him.

我相信 Percy 現在和 Gylfie 在一起。

Percy is with Gylfie I believe

他們兩隻都已經出現好幾年了。我相信 Ghost 過去曾經對 Gylfie ‘有興趣’，但 Gylfie 並沒有回應他的感情。

They’ve both been around for years. I believe Ghost was once ‘interested’ in Gylfie, but wasn’t reciprocated.

Gylfie 就是喜歡當老大，她和 Dryer 曾是 Fotherdale 穀倉貓頭鷹中的「老大」（top dogs）。有一種理論認為，我們現在會看到這麼多其他貓頭鷹出現，是因為 Dryer 已經不在了。

Gylfie just likes to be the boss, she and Dryer were the "tip dogs" of thew BO's in Fotherdale, it's a therory that that why we are seeing so many other out now, beacuse of Dryer not being around

我很好奇這兩隻以後有沒有可能在一起！

I wonder if these two could ever get together!

Ghost 沒那麼具攻擊性。

Ghost is less aggressive

這兩隻是不是有點過節？Ghost 看起來好像有點被 Gylfie 嚇到，真讓人心疼！😂

Have these two got a bit of history? Ghost seems a little intimidated by Gylfie, bless him! 😂

草坪貓頭鷹（lawn owl）🙂

lawn owl 🙂

Ghost 確實很有個性（certainly a character），Gylfie 也是；而 Dryer 離開後，現在有許多年輕的個體正逐漸出現。

Ghost is certainly a character , Gylfie too, and with Dryer gone we have lots of younger ones making their way.

很有趣的是，所有生物年紀大了似乎都會變得有點愛鬧脾氣，仗著自己在世上的年資要求他人尊重，就跟我們人類一樣。

It's funny how all creatures seem to get a bit grumpy with age, demanding respect though their years on earth, like us really

這些年來，牠們確實都逐漸發展出各自的個性。

They have definitely developed characters over the years

我確實很喜歡牠們之間的小互動；牠們算是 Fotherdale 的「老班底」（old guard），這些年來有過很多有趣的互動。

i do like their little dynamic as kind of the "old guard" of Fotherdale, they've had so many fun interactions over the years

版主用揮手與微笑表情打招呼（👋🙂）。

👋🙂

Ghost 正在和 Gylfie 一起待在柱子上（on the post）。

ghost is on the post with Gylfie girl😀

00:10:48，Gylfie 和 Ghost 出現了。

00 10 48 Gylfie and ghost

00:00:55，鼬獾警報（stoat alert）：它正在追著 Bo，把 Bo 趕離文件區（off docs）。
