This location, it turns out, is not just a random mountain lion scrape, but a latrine where several mountain lions (at least two, maybe three), regularly check scents and mark their presence. The latest was this big male mountain lion.

Screech owl copulation and feeding
This year, the fourth season of a Western screech owl pair using the nestbox in my yard, was a difficult time for the owl pair. Five eggs laid and hatched, but only one nestling survived to fledge. This video shows a copulation event after the eggs hatched and when only one nestling remained. It also shows how the adult male brings food to the adult female to feed her nestling.
