アオバズク3ペア営巣開始
May 8, 2017
This pair is extremely wary, so hiding as I was, this kind of shot was all I could manage. ^^; Even when I hide, they seem to sense my presence somehow and are watching with their eyes wide open. That kind of look means they are startled or on guard. When Brown Hawk-Owls have that piercing, glaring expression like the two in the photos above, they are often not particularly alarmed.
They are so easily disturbed that last year I only visited twice to check on the nesting. This year I expect I will go back just once more, around the time the chicks are about to fledge.
