[EBB Sightings] (no subject)

I continue to see great horned owls in the spot I mentioned last week 
(Wildcat Canyon, near the Pearl Reservoir water tank, but about 1000 
yards southeasterly, at the edge of the privately-owned tree plantation 
watershed area on the ridgeline.

I believe I have seen three different owls now. One had a white patch 
on his chest, while the other two did not. I believe this is probably a 
family. They are harassed EVERY evening by Stellars Jays, who divebomb 
and squawk at them, presumably until the jays go off to sleep.

I have provided directions in previous post. As I said in initial post, 
listen for the jays. If they are close to the trees edge, you will 
likely see the owls. At times, I have heard them hooting but not seen 
them, but that was only once out of last six visits. I have seen at 
least a glimpse or a very long view each time besides then. Last 
evening, I watched for about 15 minutes as an owl was constantly pecked 
and screeched at by the Jay. The owl was...annoyed.... to say the least 
but he held his spot in the pine tree. Interestingly, I have yet to see 
an owl alight in a eucalyptus there. The plantation is almost entirely 
pine or eucalpytus. The owls land on branches where they can sweep down 
so it makes viewing easier.
