Albert Brings Prey, Mating Off-Cam 🦉 02/26/23 01:43

Albert shows up at the nest with a rat, hooting to his mate who is using her begging call to get Albert to bring her the prey. He continues to grunt and hoot for a minute, then takes the rat up the branch to Ellie who is still begging for her meal. A few more grunts, begging calls, and hoots, then the transfer of prey is heard as copulation occurs immediately after.
Albert Arrives at 01:43 and Departs at 01:44.
