Can you find the nest I hung in Susan’s Tree?
Off Center & Not Even 
This is a little embarrassing because I have seen the nest you made and hung…and it can’t see it.
The watercolor sky is beautiful. 🙂
It camouflages really well. Hmmm. Maybe the Owls haven’t seen it because it blends in so well. Nah! Thanks, Susan.
I’m reassuring the Owls that they can have privacy if they adopt the nest 😉
I’ll ;et them know if I see them. I’m hearing the owls a lot.
I can’t see it either.
Hmmm! it’s subtle but you can see it. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim. The nest is very well-camouflaged.
I have never heard of a Devils moon before, Tim. Fabulous tree sky duet. I looked diligently for the next but alas, I’m like Susan – even when I opened up the photograph. Well done.
It’s hanging right at the V in the big cottonwood. I made up the Devil’s Moon for the question of 66.6% full. Thanks, Rebecca.
I looked up Devil’s Moon and found that it was a game being played.
I’m not surprised.
I haven’t heard of a Devil’s moon either!
That’s because I just cam up with it.
Ah, that would explain it, then!
I think I see some kind of nest box on the trunk of the bigger tree on the left. I am not sure which tree is Susan’s tree.
I agree with Susan, the watercolor night sky is beautiful. We had mixed snow and rain here today, but it seems to be clearing somewhat tonight. I might see the moon yet. It is a Devil’s Moon if it is shining on Rt 66, which it probably is somewhere along the way tonight. 🙂
Or shining on old highway 666 in western NM when the moon is 66.6% full. The tree on the right is your tree and the big cottonwood on the left is Susan’s tree. You saw the nest. It’s at the V in Susan’s tree. The nest blends in well. I covered it inside and out with cottonwood bark. Thanks, Lavinia.
A well made owl house! So you have a Rt 666 there? Then it is definitely a Devil\s Moon. 🙂
Not anymore. It was changed to Highway 491 in 2003 You can read the history of it at https://www.therooseveltreview.com/nm-history-route-666-the-devils-highway/.
Thanks for the link, Tim. The route has an interesting history, and I am not surprised it was renamed. Who knows who or what travels a road? A musician friend told me a story some years back about the time he was traveling some long lonely highway in the west. Not sure which one. Long way between towns, and he was driving at night. The road became very foggy at one point, and he could barely see the road, and was afraid of having an accident. Just then a set of tail lights appeared in front of him. He thought he had caught up to another car, and followed them for a long way. Eventually they drove out of the fog and he discovered….there was no one in front of him. No towns around, no turn offs. No explanation.
A divine guiding light.
Lol… Devil’s moon! 666!
I think I see the Owl box/nest.
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Thanks, Nancy.
The moon has a very strong effect on us and our earth. So everything is possible, Timothy.
A great picture of the moon, Timothy. A devil’s moon – cool concept.
Thanks, Roberta.
It is certainly devilisly beautiful and the wowls are lucky to have a friend in you whether they use the nest or not.
Thanks, Shey.
As always beautiful images:)
Thanks, Janet.
I see the box. I assumed you could not reach the top without one of your hot air balloons and that narrowed it down a bit. Fingers crossed for some inhabitants.
The owls won’t nest at the top of trees. The like there nests at 12 to 15 feet above the ground. I set the nest about the same height as the one that got cut down. It’s also close to the same diameter. I had to guess on the depth. Thanks, Susan.
You did a great job.
It’s was a real ordeal to get that nest into the tree by myself. It weighs around 90 pounds.
It was for a very good cause but I wouldn’t like you to do yourself a mischief.
I didn’t look at the comments because I wanted to answer without any hints!
I love the idea of 66.6% representing a Devil’s moon… but only if it means we do devilish things (not evil ones).
As for the nest, is it on the tree to the left, just below the V? How low is it? It is high enough for them? Peu importe, as we say in French, it’s the thought and effort that counts if they diss it. It is so well camouflaged!!
Love the sky photo as well.
Thanks, Dale. You got it right. The nest is set at the same height as the one that was cut down.
Well then, you done even better than good!
You’re pulling our legs, I see no nest : )
It’s there. Look at the big cottonwood on the left at the V in the tree. The nest is covered with cottonwood bark so it blends in. Thanks, Dawn.
Ahh! Wow! You possibly have camouflaged it from the birdies as well. Haha
I’m starting to wonder.
Haha. Been wanting homes for the larger birds and bat boxes, too. I like this more natural appearance. Thanks for sharing
wow love the moon but I can’t find the nest!!! 💗
It seems to be super camo. Thanks, Cindy.
That’s so awesome Tim… thanks for the unbirthday camo. xo ❣️
Hope the owls show up for that nest! I can’t find it. Pretty moon.
Thanks, Bruce.
Q1: could very well be! 😉
Q2: I see it!!!!!! …and I hope the owls see it too!
The owls can see really well, but I’m beginning to wonder. Thanks, Marina.
Maybe they want to check whether that tree is there to stay so they don’t lose their home again.
Could be.
Tim’s moon, not Devil’s moon! Can’t see the nest but owl is not lost!
Thanks, Geoff.
Well, if it is 66.6% full and falls on May 4th, then it becomes the Death Star moon! Luckily I’m reading my missed posts backwards so you gave us a better look at the nest box or I probably would not have been able to find it.
May the 4th be 66.6% with you. The nest is pretty well camoed. Thanks, Brian.

I see it too Tim … took some looking though. They are very lucky to have your help ..
Thanks, Julie.
