Luna arrived at 8:30am. Owlets may very well be well fed since no one seems interested in a feeding.
An early morning is quiet. Owlets aren’t huddled for warmth.. Expecting to see them huddled together is not always the case now. They are growing so fast. Everyday new changes.
Mouse, dropped a couple times but picked up by adult and owlets grabbed it, missed if it went down.
Food drop.
Getting about that time.
Back to current date and time. Peaking out.
Last photo from last evening, Pretty Luna. Close as I ever got to photographing her brood patch!
Last evening, couldn’t let this one go by. Beautiful Luna delivered a frog. Luna and her Noche are working hard to feed three owlets and probably skips meals herself.
Nice stretching.
Look closely at the leg… It is owlet.
Fast feeding frenzy. Since 5:08am Luna has visited 4times, that’s in less than 20 minutes. Saw a moth fed to youngest and the rest was over too fast.
Cooing sounds have me thinking its Luna.
Simply beautiful.
Looking content. They are not at the prime spot for now anyway.
Feathers in the beak… Luna also delivered a frog. She coos and stayed a bit longer.
Another visit n owlet ate frog. Unknown if it’s in addition to or a frog from earlier not eaten. Owlets are getting a large variety of food again.
No takers on the frog? Adult on the far right, very thin legs.
Back to back visits from Luna n Noche. Will look at pics for food drop, so fast. Eleven photos, not one image had prey.
Nigh crawler.
Feelings begin, a night crawler. Owlet eats quickly.
Ready…
Hungry owlets. Still. This will be interesting…
Six legs.
Owlet uses foot and talons in an attempt to hold down object. Non food but good practice.
Getting hungry.
How tall is the owlet? At least 8″ if the screw is the 6″ mark.
