Mama soon comes to check things out

Finally, an in-focus view of an owlet!

Look at that Gregory Peck eyebrow. Or is it Groucho Marx?

May 10: He's reaching way out now.

There are two owlets. This is the gray, younger one.

And this is the red one.

The morning after they fledged, we found the family way up in a tree. From left to right are red, gray, and Mama.

Here they are looking a bit wary.

While Mama keeps an eye on things.

This is one of the few times we get to see more than just Mrs. Owl's head.

Experiencing their first day in the world.

But all this makes an owlet sleepy

So it's time for a nap.

You can clearly see the reddish tone to the wing feathers of the left hand owlet.

Now it's time to watch a noisy plane descending down the airport flyway.

Gray owlet

Red owlet

One watches me, while the other watches the dog.

Inside the box, we found a number of interesting bones, pellets, an unhatched egg,...

And feathers of at least 3 birds: a Cardinal, a Wren, and a black bird (maybe that Starling we saw being carried in on the videotape.) The cardinal and starling were probably young birds, as the base of the feather is still in a sheath.

Here you can see various rodent bones, insect parts (from at least cockroach, large spider, grasshopper, and June beetle). Plus, there is a tail from a gecko.

There were a few pellets, containing mostly rodent fur. Owls swallow their prey whole, and regurgitate the indigestible parts in a pellet. The adults do this outside the box, but the young babies left theirs inside.

Here is a closeup of the bone collection, for any anatomists in the audience.
