Скачать или смотреть Jeff Makes Friends With a Barred Owl, who then Viciously Guards the VanderMeer's Door.

This Barred Owl has been coming for years but never have we captured footage of them feasting! Jeff made friends with them and now they have started keeping watch over their door... and eats little birds!

Jeff: "This cutie-beauty of a barred owl is back to guarding our front door. Just about 15 feet away. Walked out just now and was like 'wow!'"

"Well, this just happened and by chance I was walking out the front door. One of the little birds sounding the alarm got too close and the owl did a strange little dart-hop, hooked the bird, stabbed it, and now is eating while feathers float across the walkway. So.... #VanderWild"

Ann: "Why couldn't the owl have taken one of the squirrels eating the deck?"
Jeff: "You mean Mitzy, Bitzy, or Litzy?!"

In November of 2018, Ann and I bought a house on the edge of a small ravine here in Tallahassee. The heavily wooded bottom of the ravine provides an amazing greenway for all kinds of wildlife. Unfortunately, invasive plant species like air potato, nandina, and coral ardisia had choked out native species—with a resulting loss of insect and bird diversity, as well as no doubt putting a strain on the local box turtles, armadillos, and other species. Since moving in, we have removed most of the invasives and planted over 300 native plants. All without using herbicide or fertilizer (which is harmful). We have also discontinued use of pesticides. The resulting abundance of biodiversity has resulted in over 90 bird species seen in the yard along with dozens and dozens of bee, wasp, butterfly, and moth species.
