I am always curious and started to walk over and investigate, but I started wondering if there was a skunk digging around in there. I had to clean up my dogs after one of their skunk encounters and I will never forget the odor. It stayed on them for several weeks, even after the tomato juice and peroxide shampoo. So I used the camera to light up the crack in the stump with the flash and see if I could tell more about what was inside. This is what the camera revealed:
Hmmm... definitely not a skunk. Having a pretty good idea about what might be in the stump, I decided to go for the video. Of course, I was a little apprehensive about placing my hand over my head and into a stump where an animal with razor sharp claws and beak had easy access, but I took a chance anyway and captured this:
It took me two tries to capture a video of this barred owl trying to hide from me. He never came out, even after I sat still and quiet behind his temporary refuge for 10 minutes. Eventually, I had to move on. The owl had endured the only creature likely to discover its hiding spot and won.
