對啊。這裡安靜了下來。我最近都在關注 Diamond 和 Gimbir 這兩隻遊隼（peregrine）。

Yep. This place has quieted down. Been hanging out with Diamond and Gimbir peregrine.

昨天看到發現一隻新雄鳥（new male spotted）的消息。

I was prompted yesterday at the news of a new male spotted

@LunaLei，我想先前住在 3T 的那隻老鼠，應該是在我開始觀看直播之前就出現了；希望牠最後沒有遭遇不幸 😅

@LunaLei I think the previous 3T mouse resident must have been before I started watching the streams, I hope it didn't end poorly for the mouse 😅

另外也謝謝 BoosPhotos 和 Floelna 今天稍早提供的時間點（TS，timestamps）💚

Also thank you to BoosPhotos and Floelna for your TSs earlier in the day 💚

謝謝 @mrsskittles82 提供 Celeste 的時間點（TS，timestamp）。希望幸運的話，這就是我們今天早上看到的新公貓頭鷹，牠會留下來和 Celeste 配對 🤞

Thanks for the Celeste TS mrsskittles82, with any luck it's the new male we saw this morning and he's going to stay and pair with Celeste 🤞

很多年前，Orion 還是單身（single）時，曾經有一隻老鼠（mouse）。

There used to be a mouse years ago when Orion was single.

牠是隻可愛的小東西 🐁，但我拒絕對一隻住在貓頭鷹巢（owl nest）裡的老鼠產生感情。

It's a cute little thing 🐁 but I refuse to get attached to a mouse that is living in an owl nest

我覺得你可能猜對了，牠看起來確實會在通道後方往側邊消失。

I think you might be right, it does seem to disappear sideways at the back of the tunnel

如果真是那樣，感覺就有點像先搜尋「高犯罪率地區」（high crime rate areas），然後搬去那裡住 😂

If so, that seems a bit like googling 'high crime rate areas' and then moving there 😂

你有看過牠真的「進入」3T 的門廊（go in to 3T porch）嗎？我只看過牠出來，開始懷疑牠是不是住在入口通道（entrance tunnel）側邊。

Have you seen it actually go *in* to 3T porch? I only ever see it come out, I'm starting to suspect it's living in the side of the entrance tunnel

那隻可憐的小老鼠（little mouse）真的很喜歡玩命。我在想，這是不是某種老鼠界的入會膽量考驗（mousey initiation dare）。

That poor little mouse does like living dangerously. I wonder if it's some sort of mousey initiation dare.

所以我們算是有過節（have words），我敢說鄰居們一定都在想：「32號那個糊塗老太太（that daft old woman at no. 32）又跑出去對著松鼠大喊了！」

So we have words and I can just tell the neighbours are all going "that daft old woman at no. 32 is out shouting at squirrels again!"

🤣——我已經練習很多了——我家的松鼠（squirrels）根本是十足的小流氓（absolute thugs），而且我們常常「聊天」（regular chats）。牠們會啃我餵鳥台的石板，還擺出一副「快拿食物出來，不然屋頂就要遭殃了」（bring some food out or the roof gets it）的表情。

🤣 - well I've had a lot of practice - my squirrels are absolute thugs and we have regular 'chats'. They gnaw at the slates on my bird table with a look of "bring some food out or the roof gets it"

@BoosPhotos 對你來說，盡力幫忙也包括好好教訓那些松鼠，因為牠們顯然很怕你！😂

@BoosPhotos In your case doing whatever you can to help includes giving the squirrels a piece of your mind, since apparently they're afraid of you! 😂

不過，我們能做的就是盡力在能力所及的範圍內提供幫助，例如支持保育工作（conservation work）等。

All we can do is try our best to help where we can though (supporting conservation work etc.)

看過 A+A 的情況後，紅隼（kestrel）的數量會下降，而寒鴉（jackdaw）與灰松鼠（grey squirrel）的數量會上升，也就不足為奇了 😔

Having seen what it's like for A+A it's no wonder the kestrel population has gone down as the jackdaw and grey squirrel populations have gone up 😔

@LunaLei @vanityglitch 你們兩位都提出了很好的觀點，而且可以說是在講同一件事：人類要為刻意將非原生的灰松鼠（grey squirrels）釋放到這個國家負責。

@LunaLei @vanityglitch You both make good points, and arguably the same one given that humans are responsible for intentionally releasing non-native grey squirrels in this country

我瞪著牠並對牠說了幾句重話，看來真的奏效了；至少暫時如此（for the moment）。

Me glaring at it and saying harsh words, seemingly did the trick. For the moment.

我想，小貓頭鷹攝影機（little owl cam）是在松鼠用樹葉蓋住 Ash Hollow 攝影機後，改設到那裡的。Apollo 有時會待在那裡，所以 REF 可能也以為 Athena 會這麼做。

I think the little owl cam was put up in place of Ash Hollow when the squirrels covered the cam with leaves. Apollo hangs out there sometimes, so maybe REF thought Athena might do so too.

攝影機啟用（cam is up）後，有人看到小貓頭鷹嗎？

Have little owls been spotted since the cam is up?

想想看，野外有多少鳥類會因為人類而被迫離開棲地（displaced）。

Imagine how many birds get displaced in the wild because of humans.

想想看，野外有多少鳥類會因為松鼠而被迫離開棲地（displaced）……:(

Imagine how many birds get displaced in the wild because of squirrels...:(

Athena 很幸運，牠的高級地段（prime estate）有專屬房東（dedicated landlord）幫忙清理每當非法佔用者（squatters）把牠的家弄得滿地垃圾時的髒亂。其他野鳥可沒有這種奢侈待遇。:(

Athena is lucky that her prime estate has a dedicated landlord cleaning it up whenever squatters litter her home. All the other wild birds don't have such luxury. :(

在此期間（In the meantime），左上方是小鴞巢（Little Owl nest），上方中央和右上方是三棵樹（Three Trees），左中央和正中央是梣樹（Ash Tree），右下方是梣樹谷（Ash Hollow）。

In the meantime, we have Little Owl nest top left, Three Trees top centre and top right, Ash Tree centre left and centre centre, and Ash Hollow bottom right

啊，謝謝你指出來，Mistic。我來看看能不能把標籤（labels）恢復給你。

Ah thanks for pointing that out Mistic, let me see if I can get the labels back for you

不過池塘邊那隻雉雞（pretty pheasant by the pond）真漂亮。

pretty pheasant by the pond though

糟糕，我這個非專業人士（non-expert）被攝影機畫面沒有標籤（lack of labels on the cams）搞糊塗了，哈哈（lol）。

uh oh my non-expert self getting confused by that lack of labels on the cams lol

對，她昨晚來過。我覺得她非常可愛 🥰，不過我承認自己可能有點偏心。

Yes she visited last night. I think she's very cute 🥰 though I admit I might be biased

她當時坐在自己的樹洞裡，好可愛。

@25_Remy she was sitting in her tree hollow cute

Celeste 早些時候有坐在 ASK 樹上嗎？

waS celeste sitting in ask tree earlier

那些有趣的啄木鳥讓我笑個不停，但我知道人們不喜歡牠們敲敲打打的聲音 🤣🤣

@25_Remy those funny woodpeclers make me laugh but i know people dont like there knocking🤣🤣

我同意，也許牠會回來，進到她的家裡查看，就像 Percy 當時做的一樣。

i agree maybe he will be back and go innher home and inspect like percy did

看到這隻新的雄性穀倉貓頭鷹只短暫出現一下，真令人難過。

Sad to see the new male barn owl for a short fleeting moment

大斑啄木鳥（Great spotted woodpecker）大多是黑白色的，偶爾會出現在 Fotherdale 花園的鳥類餵食器，有時也會到 AW 池塘。我恐怕不太了解美國的啄木鳥。

Great spotted woodpeckers are mostly black and white, they show up on the Fotherdale garden bird feeder sometimes and more rarely at AW pond 😊 I don't know much about US woodpeckers I'm afraid

這隻小動物真有趣，牠是在找橡實（acorns）嗎？

@kaw8337 neat little critter is it after acorns

我第一次看到來自紐西蘭的小松鼠。

first time seeing a little sqirel from new zealanmd

你們那裡的啄木鳥和美國的是同一個物種嗎？

are your wood pecler the same species in usa

我還聽說另一個直播中也出現了一隻黑白色的啄木鳥（woodpecker）。

@25_Remy i heard there was ablack and white wood pecker on a streram too

好，希望明年能有新的開始。我們這裡目前有紐西蘭笑鴞（ruru／morepork）正在築巢。

ok hopefully next year new start we have ruru morepork nesting at moment

牠已經離開了。

He left already @MichelleScott-g5w

我是說，她現在在哪裡？

she i mean

喔，對了，牠現在在哪裡？

oh yeah where is he

我想牠曾停在巢裡，想看看她為什麼在裡面。

I think he stopped inside the nest to see why she was in there

希望 Celeste 有新的伴侶，就像 Percy 對 Orion 一樣。

new pair for celeste like percy for orion

我想牠可能只是經過 AW，而 Celeste 可能是在試圖叫牠離 AW 遠一點。

I think maybe he stumbled by aw and Celeste probably was trying to get him to stay away from aw

我知道，牠可能會成為 Celeste 明年的新伴侶。她現在在哪裡？

@25_Remy i know he could be celeste new one next year wher is she

（我的意思是，如果牠和 Celeste 配對的話。）

(if he paired with Celeste I mean)

牠的腿也像 Orion 一樣細得像火柴棒（matchstick legs）。

He does have matchstick legs like Orion @MichelleScott-g5w

雖然我很希望那是 Orion（而且正如 kaw 指出的，牠們都有像細火柴棒一樣的腳踝 😂），但我猜那是一隻新的雄鳥。如果我們有一對新的貓頭鷹就太好了 🥰

As much as I would love for it to be Orion (and they do share skinny match stick ankles as kaw pointed out 😂) I suspect it's a new male. It'd be lovely if we had a new pair 🥰

好，希望牠是 Celeste 的新伴侶（new one）。

ok must be a new one for celeste hopefully

我懷疑那不是 Orion，因為照這個時間來看，牠應該已經睡在巢裡了。

I doubt that's Orion because he would actually sleep inside his nest by this time

所以你覺得不是 Orion 回來了，對嗎？

ok so not orion back you think

我沒看到任何斑點（speckles），而且牠的臉盤（facial disc）顏色比較淺。

I don't see any speckles and his facial disc is more light in color

有看到新的雄鳥（new male）或 Orion 的任何跡象嗎？

any sign of new amle or orion maybe
