White owls take over the blinds...

Instead of burning and rebuilding, just leave it for the owls and build another one near it. Just protect the new one from intrusion better.

That's a good idea. I like owls myself. Good predators. But no can do. The blind is located at the crossing of two big senderos.

The other sendero is not in view in this pic. This blind in the right spot. Hard to give up.

Be careful they don't fly in your window some morning early. Been there, done that. Will scare the crap out of you!

Now, we have to wait till the baby owls are grown and gone before we can think about cleaning it up...
Meanwhile the owls are killing all the rabbits. :-(

We had a blind that went unused a season for the same reason.......good reason, though....

I believe owls are covered by federal law as a bird of prey. Can't disturb nests either. I just can't find the link...

Hmm, well I learn something new everyday. Today I learned not to complain about owls in public.

Not all birds of prey must be protected, tho. Otherwise people wouldn't catch hawks and falcons for pets.

Yup, it's illegal to keep or trap hawks, falcons, eagles or owls. Possession of a single eagle feather is also illegal. Exceptions for Native Americans for cultural ceremonies. A few other exceptions also....

I did a little research and looks like it's illegal kinda how suppressors are illegal. You can catch birds of prey for falconry if you get a permission slip first. 'murica!
