Friday morning, mom was at the nest feeding the owlets. Â I'm not sure what kind of critter it was but probably some type of rodent. Maralee
Bedraggled
We had a very heavy rainstorm come through Monday night. Â Looks like mom/dad sat vigilantly through the night in the pouring rain but looked a little bedraggled in the morning. Maralee
Testing the Wings
One of the owlets was testing out its wings this morning while little sibling was watching. Â Both owlets were out of the nest on a branch. Â I don't think it will be long before they start flying. Maralee
Then There Were Two
I'd been told that there were two owlets in the nest but until today I had only seen one. Â Here they are together, although one is sleeping. Â The one you see is the second owlet. Â It has a totally different look about the face than the other one and is a bit smaller. Maralee
Standing Watch
I went to check on the owl family on Friday and baby was sitting on a branch sleeping. Â It was just a ball of fuzz so I didn't get any decent photos, but mom or dad was vigilantly standing watch over the little one. Maralee
