Tree Swallow

I believe this is a tree swallow. I see them everywhere lately.  They are very fast when they're flying. I love their coloring. Maralee  

Breakfast

Friday morning, mom was at the nest feeding the owlets.  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.  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.  Both owlets were out of the nest on a branch.  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.  Here they are together, although one is sleeping.  The one you see is the second owlet.  It has a totally different look about the face than the other one and is a bit smaller. Maralee
