Look Whooo's BACK

 

At 8:30 AM on 4/26/2023, Wednesday, Bob yelled in the door, he's back and I went running.

Hoot was first seen in our palm trees 11 days ago on April 5th. He stayed about half an hour.

today he stayed for over 2 hours.

I spent most of my morning watching him and talking baby talk to him, his eyes followed me, and he listened to me talk. I think he was looking at the lens and smiling. 

He was in the shade, and I had to edit the 19 photos I took of him. Most of the time

he was behind fronds, but he moved out a little and I grabbed the photos before he turned his back to watch the birds that were diving at him.

In the 11 days since we first sighted him, I have heard him at 1 AM and 2:30 AM on two different nights when I got up for a potty break. We think his nest may be in one of our trees or the neighbors' trees.

2 sightings 2 hearings in our yard and 2 hearings from our neighbors' yards in the early am.

We are in love with our new neighbor. We are truly thankful he has chosen our yard.

the neighbor next door says he found 3 baby ducks in the yard in the middle of the night. His three pitties went crazy and he went out to see what it was. He said they ran in our yard. I told him the Male and female love our pool. It seems we have a family of Mom/Dad/2 mating teens and 3 babies.

He is about 2 feet tall. The claws look lethal.

We changed his name from Hooty to HOOT because he is a hoot to watch.
