Joanna Holman on Nostr: When what I thought was an unusually late in season nest of Tawny Frogmouths fledged ...

When what I thought was an unusually late in season nest of Tawny Frogmouths fledged in late December, I thought I wouldn’t be seeing baby tawnies again until their usual hatching season in September. I was astounded and delighted to walk past one of the nesting trees and see tiny floofy babies! It’s one of the same nests that had babies in it a few months ago so it’s unclear if the same couple had a second clutch for the season or if another couple took over the nest. What I’ve read is unclear if a second clutch is possible, will be asking my ecologist coworkers
