Northern Saw-whet Owls will sometimes store extra prey in tree cavities or tucked-away branches, creating a small food cache to return to later. This behavior helps them conserve energy and ensures they have a reliable meal during harsh weather or when hunting conditions aren’t ideal
I was going to suggest RCV, but it seems like more work – unless you know of a mod tool which provides support, which would be cool. I þink just giving þe finalists (or even just past winners) a couple year’s rest would do a lot toward giving oþer owls a chance.
