我也很喜歡 Ginger！Copper 也很棒！我只是想好好看清楚牠（get a good look at him），一直都錯過牠！:_Barnowl:😊

I liked Ginger too!! Copper was good!! I just want to get a good look at him. I keep missing him!!:_Barnowl:😊

會放出來給牠吃的是 DOCs（day-old chicks，出生一天的小雞）；這些是補充性動物飼料（supplemental animal food），也是蛋品產業的副產品（byproduct）。

DOCs (day old chicks) are left out to eat, they are supplemental animal food, a biproduct of the egg industry.

我們知道有留下什麼食物給牠吃嗎？

Do we know what was left out for it to eat?

我喜歡 Copper（copper），那 Sunstone（sunstone）呢？

I like copper and what about sunstone

我滿喜歡 Copper（Copper）🥰

I quite like Copper 🥰

不過我不知道這是否符合牠的個性。

that fits his personality

我本來想上 Google 查查看有沒有其他說法，但搜尋結果只出現 Ginger Spice（Geri）和它的學名，而學名的拼法其實更接近 Gerald。不過我不知道這是否符合牠的個性……

I was trying to google stuff to see if there was another word for it but all that came up as Ginger Spice (Geri) and its scientific name which actually is spelled closer to Gerald. But i don't know if

也許叫 Copper？像「coppertop」——這是紅髮人的老稱呼。何況 Cooper 之前也是 Percy 的熱門候選名。

Maybe Copper? Like "coppertop" - old nickname for redheads. Also since Cooper was a popular suggestion for Percy

可惜這個名字已經用過了，Ginger 曾是幫牠取的可愛名字……

Shame it's already been used, Ginger was a cute name for him...

也許可以去掉 R，只叫 Ginge 🤔

Maybe could take the R out and use just Ginge 🤔

只是重申 @biodouglasforam 說過的話，👻 和 Willie 那窩中最年長的那隻名叫 Ginger，所以聊天室可能得另外想個名字。或者可以向 REF 請願，取名叫 Ginger 2。

Just to repeat what @biodouglasforam said, the oldest of 👻 and Willie's clutch was named Ginger, so the chatters might have to cone up with something else. Or petition REF for a Ginger 2

牠看起來有點像虎紋麵包（tiger bread）一樣的麵包塊（loaf）。

He looks a bit like a tiger bread 🍞 loaf ☺️

@ptnickb，對，我想那是 Ginger。

@ptnickb yes I think it was Ginger

看到影子（shadow）。

shadow

媽媽在咕咕叫（mama's hooting）。

mamas hootin

這是新的救援個體（new rescue）。

this is the new rescue

18:35，穀倉貓頭鷹在 FP（barn owl on FP），保佑牠（bless it）。

1835 barn owl on FP, bless it

濕答答的（soggy）。

Very soggy

我想那是新來的救援個體。我們曾經有一隻穀倉貓頭鷹叫 Ginger。牠是 Ghost 和 Willow 那一窩（clutch）中最年長的雛鳥。

I think it was the new rescue. We had a BO named Ginger. It was the first Ghost & Willow clutch's oldest chick.

FlyingFoxMeep，謝謝你的回答（TY, thank you）。我差點就錯過了。我喜歡這個名字！！♥️ 從沒想過牠們全都這麼「薑黃色」（ginger）！！祝你有美好的一天（HAGD, Have a good day）！

FlyingFoxMeep, TY for answer. I almost missed it. I like the name!! ♥️:_Barnowl: Never thought how "ginger" they all are!! HAGD!

謝謝你，@niki7991。我重播確認了一下，可能是 Ginger？

TY @niki7991 I rewound Might be Ginger ?

是 Ginger 嗎？@biodouglasforam

Was it Ginger @biodouglasforam

嗨 @niki7991，我沒看到你提到的 TS，但永遠不會忘記 Dryer 的「跳雨舞」（raindance）。大家非常想念牠的身影。

Hello @niki7991 I didn’t see the TS that you mentioned, but will never forget Dryer’s raindance. His presence is so missed.

鏡頭（cam）上有一大滴雨，畫面有點難看清。

A bit difficult with the large rain drop on cam

看來那裡是牠自己選的 hangout（常待的地方），希望牠會留下來；牠真是個有趣的傢伙（a character）❤️

Seems to be his choice of hang out, I hope he stays, he’s a character ❤️

我看得出來牠右側有環（right ring），我原本以為是新的救援個體（new rescue），但不太確定；牠似乎很喜歡 MW。

Yes I can see it has a right ring I thought the new rescue but wasn’t too sure , he does seem to be liking MW

那應該是 @biodouglasforam 在主秀（main event）前的熱身（warm-up）🤭

That must of been the warm up @biodouglasforam before the main event 🤭

我以為那是新來的救援貓頭鷹（new rescue）。

I thought it was the new rescue

我很好，謝謝（I’m good, thanks）😊。

I’m good thanks 😊

嗨，Badd 🤗，對，我沒事，謝謝你。我也希望你一切都好（I hope you are too）。

Hi Badd 🤗 yes I'm okay thank you, I hope you are too

早安，Remy 🦉，希望你一切都好（Good morning Remy, hope you are well）。

Good morning Remy 🦉 hope you are well

謝謝 @niki7991 提供 08:14 的時間戳（TS）。

@niki7991 Tks for TS 08.14

我在想 00:15 那次是不是 Ghost——我 00:10 就上床睡了，錯過牠。謝謝 @miss_Iorena2801 提供時間戳（TS）。

I wonder if that was Ghost at 00.15 - went to bed at 00.10 and missed him. Tks for TS @miss_Iorena2801

鏡頭上有太多雨滴，很難辨認這隻紅隼（kestrel）。

hard to ID the kestrel so many rain drops on cam

請享用，祝大家今天愉快（HAGD）。

enjoy and hagd

早安，各位鳥友（everybirdy）。這是歌曲連結：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iAzMRKFX3c

Good morning everybirdy. Here ist the link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iAzMRKFX3c

Jasper？短暫出現在 FP（FP）上。

Jasper? on FP briefly

00:14:43，👻在柱子上（on the post），謝謝 Lorena 小姐。

00 14 43 👻 on the post ty miss lorena

7:10:54 陰影處的叫聲（shadow calls）；7:11 進入山毛櫸樹（beech）。

7 10 54 shadow calls whoo 7 11 enters beech

牠看起來很享受，謝謝你 @niki。牠似乎在雨中徹底淋濕了，接著好好地拍了拍翅膀。

It seemed to be enjoying that, thanks @niki. Seemed to get thoroughly wet in the rain, then have a good flap.

讓人想起歌曲〈Wind Beneath My Wings〉🥰🎶

The song “Wind Beneath My Wings” springs to mind 🥰🎶

我只是記得你也在那時出現並留言（coming in and commenting）。

I just remeber you comming in and commenting as well

對，我想是的（yeah, I think so）。

yeah i think so

@Barnowlie，這不是昨天也差不多同一時間（around the same time）發生的嗎？

@Barnowlie didnt this happen around the same time yesterday?

牠轉為陶笛般的鳴叫聲（ocarina calling）。

Goes in ocarina calling

茶色鴞（tawny owl）正在鳴叫（calling）。

tawny owl calling

另外，Percy 是一隻穀倉貓頭鷹（barn owl）。

Also, Percy is a barn owl.

較高的音調（higher pitch）讓我覺得這是 Luna 在叫（calling）。

The higher pitch makes me think it’s Luna calling.

不是 Gylfie，謝謝。我剛才看不清楚腳環。

Not Gylfie, thank you I couldn’t see the ring

我想是右腳環（Rt ring）？

Rt ring I think?

也可能是來自附近的另一對（貓頭鷹）。

From another pair nearby maybe

Fotherdale 需要多一些男孩子！我猜他是今年出生的雛鳥之一。也許是 Jean 送來的禮物？！

Fotherdale needs some more boys! I presume he was one of this year’s chicks. Maybe a gift from Jean?!

他一定是年輕的那隻 @HelgaWright-n9e。

Must have been young @HelgaWright-n9e

如果他真的留下來就太好了，我想 Gylfie 應該不會同意我的看法 🤣

would be wonderful if he did stick around, I don't think Gylfie would agree with me 🤣

@ptnickb 嗨。我不認為版主們掌握太多他的資訊。他很快就讓自己完全融入這裡了（made himself very much at home）。希望他會留下來！

@ptnickb Hi. I don’t think the mods had much info about him. He’s certainly made himself vey much at home quite quickly. Hope he stays around!

據我所知不是。

Not as far as I know.

早安（GE，Good evening 的縮寫）@HelgaWright-n9e，謝謝。他之前是在穀倉貓頭鷹塔（BO Tower）裡嗎？

GE @HelgaWright-n9e Thank you . Was he in BO Tower ?

我相信 REF 大約一週前把他放回野外了。

I believe REF released him a week or so ago.

Ginger 是一些人給那隻右腳繫環救援個體取的暱稱，不過我不知道他來了多久。

Ginger is the nickname some have given the right ring rescue, I don't know how new he is though

晚安，Fotherdale。Ginger 是新來的救援個體嗎？

Good evening Fotherdale. Is Ginger a new rescue?

嗨，@HBErd-8，沒錯，Ginger 就是那隻救援貓頭鷹（rescue owl）。我也得問一下，是 Kerry 告訴我的。

hello @HBErd-8 yes Ginger is the rescue I also had to ask, Kerry informed me

大家好！Ginger 是那隻救援貓頭鷹（rescue owl），還是我忘了是哪一隻？只是來確認一下，我都在潛水觀看（lurk）。Kerry、Xavier 等人，看到你們總是很開心！

Hi all! Is Ginger the rescue owl or one I have forgotten about. Just checking in as I Lurk!! Kerry, Xavier, etc, always good to see you!! :hand-pink-waving:

墨爾本隼鳥（Melb. Falcons）更新：牠現在已經讓 3 隻雛鳥都爬到排水溝較陰涼的那一側了。

Update Melb. Falcons she's got all 3 chicks up the shady side of the gutter now 🙂

抓癢了 10 次（10 itches）。

10 itches

牠們沒那麼小，這裡有一張牠在某個人手上的照片。

They arent that small, there a pic here in a guys hand

牠們是夜行性動物（nocturnal）。

they are nocturnal

牠們在日落（sunset）時很活躍。

yes they are active during sunset

我得留意聽聽北美夜鷹（whippoorwills）的叫聲。牠們不是都待在地面上嗎？

i'll have to keep an ear out for whippoorwills. they hang out on the ground don't they?

我在佛蒙特州最喜歡的聲音：潛鳥（loon）、北美夜鷹（whip-poor-will）和大角鴞（GHO）。

favorite sounds in Vermont The Loon Whipperwill GHO

哈哈，牠有鬍鬚（whiskers）！

Lol he has wiskers!

日落時聽到北美夜鷹（whip-poor-will）和潛鳥（loon）的叫聲，真是悅耳。

lovely call the whipperwill at sunset and the loon

我就一直拍，直到幸運拍到一張，因為牠們的速度對 1/60 秒來說實在太快了。

and I just took pics until I got lucky because they are way too fast for 1/60

其實只有一張拍得好 😆 我沒有低光源相機（low-light camera）。我們在餵食器旁架了一盞露營燈，然後我拿單腳架（monopod）坐在外面，用 1/60 秒的快門速度拍攝。

it's one good photo 😆 I don't have a low light camera. We rigged up a camp lantern next to the feeder and then I sat out there with a monopod and 1/60 shutter speed

我自己還沒看過北美夜鷹（whip-poor-will），但知道牠們就在附近。

I haven't seen a whipperwill myself but I know they are around

是 whip-poor-will，不是 whipperwill。

whipperwill sorry

你可以直接從那棵樹下走過，牠們其實完全不在意。

You could walk right beneath the tree they didn't really care

我們甚至不確定放的牛脂飼料（suet）能不能吸引牠們。結果牠們昨晚成群出現，真的有數十隻，太瘋狂了。

We weren't even sure our suet would draw them in. They were SWARMING last night. I mean dozens and dozens of them. It was crazy

我好多年沒看過飛鼠了，但上個月在佛蒙特州（VT）看到一隻北美夜鷹（whip-poor-will）。

amazing I haven't seen a flying squirrel in years but I saw a whooperwill last month in vt

只要有任何野生動物出現，我都會拍照，但如果是貓頭鷹，我一定會興奮極了。

personally I will take pictures of any wildlife that shows up but I would be so excited for owls

大角鴞的叫聲（GHO calls）非常迷人。

GHO calls are amazing

現在這裡根本是松鼠中心（squirrel central），牠們非常活躍。我昨晚也拍到了飛鼠。

right now it is squirrel central. They are extremely active here. I got to photograph flying squirrels last night, too

我又開始恢復每天日出（Sunrise）前後外出拍鳥的節奏了。也許今年秋天我能幸運拍到大角鴞。

I'm getting back into the rhythm of going out for bird photos around Sunrise every day again. Maybe I'll get lucky now in fall with GHOs

大角鴞（GHO，Great Horned Owl）十月時會出現在我附近。

GHO are around me in Oct

我沒看到穀倉貓頭鷹，但看到了短耳鴞（short-eared owl）。

I don't see barn owl but short eared

喔！我附近有一隻大角鴞在雲杉（spruce）上棲息。

Oh!I have one close to me roosting in my spruce 🌳

我以前也聽過穀倉貓頭鷹的叫聲，但已經有一陣子沒聽到了，而且牠們在這裡極為罕見。

I have also heard barn owls before but not in a while and they are extremely rare here

我的短期願望清單（short-term bucket list）第一名，是看到一隻野生貓頭鷹。我家附近和常去的地方都聽得到大角鴞（Great Horned Owls）的叫聲，但一直沒有幸運地看到牠們。

my short term bucket list #1 item is to see a wild owl. Great horneds are audible around my house / where I go to but I haven't been lucky enough yet to see them

對，我也覺得看到新的貓頭鷹很棒，希望今年春天這裡會很熱鬧。

Yes I agree it is great to see new owls hopefully it will be busy this spring

啊，了解了。看到牠們暫時把 Featherdale 當作基地（base）總是很好。

ah I see. Always good to see them using fotherdale as a base for a while

抱歉，Meep。我們把右腳戴環的救援貓頭鷹叫作 Ginger。

Oh sorry Meeps We call the right ring rescue Ginger

我想牠以前也進去過幾次。有一天我盯著 Elm 的入口，看 Gylfie 是否離開，而不是看 Sycamore 入口露出的幾根羽毛。

I think he's been in there a few times before, I remeber one day staring at Elm entrance to see if Gylfie left vs seeing the tips of feathers in Sycamore entrance

對，牠只是快速造訪一下。

yeah just a quick visit

不，我不知道 Ginger 在哪裡棲息（roosting）。

No I don't know we're Ginger roosting

哇，紅肩鵟！看到牠真棒。有些旅程我很幸運能看到很多寬翼鵟（broad-winged hawks），但這次沒有。原本很想拍到一張漂亮的冠斑啄木鳥（Pileated woodpecker），可惜沒那麼幸運，只拍到一張還可以的。

oh wow a red shouldered! thats great to see. Some trips I'm lucky to see lots of broad winged hawks but none this time. Was itching for a good Pileated woodpecker pic but not so lucky, got an OK one

我今天看到一隻紅肩鵟（red-shouldered hawk）。

aww nice Meep I saw a red shouldered hawk today

就是 Sycamore 裡的那隻。我腦中一直有卡車倒車蜂鳴器（truck beeper）的聲音，就是卡車倒車時會發出的那種聲音。

The one in Sycamore yes, I had a truck beeper in my head, you know the ones they have when they are reversing

最精彩的是拍到一對白頭海鵰（bald eagles）鼓勵牠們的幼鳥離開、分散出去；我猜那應該是牠們的幼鳥。

highlight was capturing a pair of bald eagles encouraging their juvenile to disperse (i presume it was their juvenile chick.)

嗨 @KerryKestrowl 和 Xavier，很高興見到你們。我很好，剛結束一個週末的鳥類攝影之旅。

hello @KerryKestrowl and Xavier good to see you both I am doing great. Just returned from a weekend of bird photography.

我喜歡穀倉貓頭鷹倒退著走路的樣子。

I liked how the barn owl walked backwards

目前還沒有聽到灰林鴞（tawny owl）的叫聲。

No tawny calls yet

21:54:52，Gylfie 把 Ginger 趕走了（chased off）。

21 54 52 Gylfie chased off ginger

21:27:28，看到白鼬（stoat）。

21 27 28 stoat

18:56，穀倉貓頭鷹（barn owl，BO）在 Sycamore。

bo in sycamore 18 56

貓頭鷹在鏡頭架（cam stand）上。

owl on the cam stand

牠的屁股好可愛 😆（butt）

butt is so cute 😆

對，看起來確實是公的。

yes it does look male

右腳的腳環。

right ring

灰色很多、顏色比較淺，頭頂的羽毛也更淡，像 Ghost 或 Percy。

Lots of greys, lighter colours, pale-er bonnet like Ghost or Percy

你說得對，而且畫面緩衝（buffering）也沒有幫上忙。

You are right and the buffering isn't helping

牠有 Gylfie 的配色。

It has Gylfie colors

FP 鏡頭上的顏色不太一致。

The colours on FP cam arent really consistant

牠是在 Uno 之前。

It was before Uno

Solo？Uno？好像是跟「一」有關的名字，那是前一年，所以這隻是再前一年嗎？

Solo? Uno? Something to do with one was the year before, so the year before that?

不是，Oak 和 Acorn 才是今年的。

No Oak and Acorn were this year

是今年的嗎？

From this year?

不是，Cloud 和 Storm 是 Gylfie 的雛鳥。

No Cloud and storm was Gylfie owlet

Cloud 不是今年的 Tawny 嗎？

Wasnt Cloud a Tawny from this year?

也許是 BL5（Cloud）？

BL5(cloud) maybe 🤔

可能是 BL5。

It might be BL5

對，就是牠們，不過不是橘色的那些。

Yeah there the ones, not the Orange ones BTW

那是 Peregrine Falcons（遊隼）嗎？

Is that the Perigurie Falcons?

我們現在正在看誰的屁股？

Whose butt are we watching currently?

我打字時還聽得到她走來走去。

I can hear her walking up and down as I type

墨爾本那隻可憐的 Falcon Mum 又要回來替雛鳥遮陽、抵擋高溫了。牠們一點也不讓她輕鬆：兩隻雛鳥在一端，另一隻在另一端。

Poor Falcon Mum in Melbourne, she's back to shading her chicks from the sunlight and heat, they dont make it easy for her, 2 chicks up one end and one on the other

他讓我想起 Howard。

He reminded me of Howard

你們那裡有一些很棒的鳥，@xavierrs。牠們是黃色的 Wattlebird 嗎？

You have some amazing birds down there @xavierrs Are they yelllow Wattle Birds?

或者照我說的，是 hoodie（連帽衫）。

or hoodie as I put it

對啊，他是個英俊的傢伙，戴著薑色的 bonnet（帽狀羽毛）。

Yes, he's a hansome devil with his ginger bonnett

我很喜歡看那隻薑色公貓頭鷹，看到新貓頭鷹真好。

I love watching the Ginger male nice to see new owls

@xavierrs7415 在回憶以前的貓頭鷹。希望你一切都好？

@xavierrs7415 Reminiscing on past owls @xavierrs7415 Hope you are well?

有好多消息要告訴你：Wattlebird 雛鳥已經離巢分散，現在父母真的稱霸我的院子；我又有一批新的 Be Be Birds，而且椋鳥（starlings）應該正在孵化，因為我一直找到藍色蛋殼。

So much news for you, the Wattlebirds chicks have dispersed and now the parents really rule my yard, I have a new batch of Be Be Birds, the starlings must be hatching cause I'm finding blue egg shells

我去散步時聽到兩隻紅肩鷹（red-shouldered hawks）。

I went for a walk I heard two red shoulder hawks
