The Granary in Sequim

They grow up so fast, don’t they? 🦉
One day our little owlets are wolfing down field mice in a single gulp (bones and all!), and the next they’re flying the coop! Our two fledglings from The Granary’s loft nest box are now occasional visitors to their birthplace. They’ll keep dropping by for a few more months as they perfect their hunting skills before heading off to find their own territories.

Fun barn owl facts:
• These silent flyers have heart-shaped faces that act like satellite dishes for super-hearing — they can pinpoint a mouse rustling in the grass even in total darkness!
• One owl can eat ~1,000 rodents a year, making them amazing natural pest control for farms like ours.
• They don’t hoot — they screech, hiss, and scream (hence the nickname “ghost owl”).
Thanks for following their journey on the Green Feathers cam — nature is wild! What’s your favorite owl moment?

Recognize this upstanding citizen? He appears to have incorreclty assumed we were done with our pallet of concrete and thought 1:30am on Monday (4th) morning would be a good time to help us dispose of it. Once again, any tips would be greatly appreciated!
