I've talked to the workmen. They're responsible professionals.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-56389376825431504942015-02-01T22:22:23.595+00:002015-02-01T22:22:23.595+00:00Lovely photos, especially the Little Owl.

In the case of this Little Owl (what I call 'the second owl', not the well known pair near the leaf yard), start on the north side of the Albert Memorial and walk north towards the statue of Physical Energy. When you get to the bicycle path, turn left -- west -- and count trees immediately next to the left side of the path, ignoring any that are out of that line. The fourth tree has the Little Owls' hole in it. You need to view the tree from the south side, that is, the side away from the path. Seen from this side, there is a thick horizontal branch sticking out about 35 feet up the trunk, with a large bulge in it and a large round hole in the bulge.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-39096642188466403192015-02-01T21:18:57.511+00:002015-02-01T21:18:57.511+00:00Hi Ralph.

They've been here before recently. The leafmould was laid in some experiment to see if it improved the condition of the trees, though I don't know how they could measure this. Anyway, it seems to have a lot of worms in it.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-89381662447724412482015-02-01T21:13:43.800+00:002015-02-01T21:13:43.800+00:00Must be.
