Amazing these people feel they have the right to stand next to your house and up in between your cars.
You should charge them LOL

I have to say one thing, they were clean and did not really disturb anything. No trash to pick up.

These cameras have no lights on at night. In fact, I am going to mount a "coach" light with a 40W LED bulb in daylight at the eave of the roof. This will help with getting betting facial shots at night with more frontal light. Right now, the only light is comming from the side of the heads. I also have the red LED's lit on my four license plate camera's. No lights on at all with the other cameras.
Edit: The owl has not come back this morning. It is a light drizzle and now the hard-core bird watchers have left. All quiet now with not even a mouse moving. hahahaha

They finally found him. He is on the other side of the tract. I had to walk down and take a look so that I can say that I saw him again.
Edit: Not that many people there as of yet. A lot of the bird watchers left earlier.

I wanted to see if my PTZ would pick up the owl today. Almost, but not quite. If you look at the center of the picture you will see a palm tree. He is on the grey roof top just to the right of the palm tree. He is obscured by the brown roof to the left of the palm tree.

No kidding. They are even parking in front of my house again tonight. The word has got out to his location and the crowd is building for the 5PM lift off.

I did not get any good shots of the owl taking off last night. However, I will point the PTZ in the direction of that house and see what I come up with.
Edit: I came up with nothing.

Ok, the owl is back to the exact same house and spot he was at yesterday. I took the dog out for her morning walk, and we went by there for a look see.

Something a little extra tonight. Two police cars were there to help keep the car traffic under control. Hundreds of people there to watch the 5:10 PM take off.

Just an update. The Snowy owl is still in the neighborhood. Not as many people today because of the light rain. She is currently 4 houses North of me. I am getting to know her habits quite well. I added a street scene.

New update: She is now on the roof of the house right across the street from me, right where we first spotted her over 3 weeks ago. I have two PTZ cameras trained on her. Also, the weather has turned out nice this afternoon and the crowd is building up.

They were pretty much gone at the end of that first day. Now only a few will occasionally bother her, but they are pretty much leaving her along.
