4/27-28/13 Saturday night into Sunday morning:
It's 8:35pm and Salt is sitting on side branch. It's very quiet. Salt is watching the skies
9:29pm - Salt is hissing.
9:31pm - Pepper is here, next to Salt on side branch, at 9:35 she goes to the roof. Salt gives out 4 loud warning screeches at 9:44 to 10pm. Doesn't seem to bother Pepper, she goes to her spot on side branch close to owl box, turns around looking at side of box; and moves to branch below and starts pecking at the side of box (catching bugs?).
10:03pm - Salt screeches, this time he gets an answer (a screech from another owl) close by. It buzzes them. 10:22pm - Looks like Salt took off after (?). with a screech! Pepper still here, but leaves at 11:25.
Salt returns at 11:44 on his spot. At 1:10am Pepper arrives, Salt attempts to mount her and it's a no go. He then goes to the roof. Pepper also goes to roof, and another failed attempt by Salt. He leaves at 1:23am (perhaps a bit embarrassed). Pepper stays on roof. Salt returns at 1:45 and we hear a bit of chittering. 1:58am Salt is at the doorway of box and proceeds to go in the box, Pep still on roof, and lets out a good loud screech! Salt busy running around inside box, peck at walls, and I believe wanting her to come in. Pepper totally ignores him..sigh (see video).
Salt leaves the box after 4 minutes.At 2:50am both are here again on roof and side branch. 5am Pep gone, then Salt. 5:07 Salt hissing at something, 5:10 Pepper next to him, by 5:25 both gone for the day.
4/28-29: Sunday night into Monday
9:24pm - Salt on side branch
9:28 - He lets out a loud Screech and off he goes at 9:33 with another screech
1:39am - Salt side branch again @ 3:34am he is looking to the sky and hissing.
This goes on until 4am when I hear flyby chittering at 4:01. Salt continues a few more hisses and gone at 4:20am.
4:33am - Pepper is on her spot close to side of box.
4:37am - Another flyby and chittering, Pepper hissing
