Lily the black bear it seems has gone into labor this afternoon. The servers crashed earlier this evening due to a sudden increase in traffic. People are blaming the nightly news for broadcasting to the world that lily is in labor and causing the server crash. It seems plausible but im not gonna point fingers. Its back up and working now and Lily seems to be trying to sleep but is moving around more than usual. Im excited to see her give birth i just hope im around to see it. Unfortunately my day tomorrow is very busy and i will be unable to have a computer near me to watch if she doesn't give birth tonight.
Earlier around 530pm i went outside for a smoke and immediately heard a great horned owl call comming from across the marsh. So i ventured farther out in the yard to see a owl flying from tree to tree on the other side of the marsh. I wasn't certain at the time if there were two owls because the 2nd one seemed to be farther away and its call was harder to locate. Then about 10 mins ago i went on the back deck and didn't hear any hooting when suddenly i saw a dark form flying up from the marsh and landed in a tree at the back of my yard. It was a great horned owl, it started hooting for a good 10 mins and towards the end of the 10 mins i faintly heard a 2nd owl hooting. Thats when the 1st owl took off and headed back down towards the marsh. I really wish i had an infrared camera or night-vision so i could take pictures at night. But im happy enough to get to see these night critters even without photogenic proof. The only thing that does get me down is when i take walks and i look around under where i have seen owls perched i never seem to find any owl pellets. I will continue my search maybe ill come across one soon.
