Up, up and away!

Yesterday I was 1/2 in finding owlets and 0/2 in finding adult barred owls so unfortunately this likely marks my end of being able to regularly document this family. The trees have exploded with leaves creating a canopy of protection for these owls from their predators (and photographers!)

I still have many images to go through but I've tried to always post a timely/current image documenting the growth of the owlets. Both have successfully fledged from the nest and are well on their way to become silent hunters just like their parents. A few blocks away, two adult barred owls were hit by cars within the past 6 weeks so hopefully these two little ones can expand successfully into that territory. Mother Nature is harsh but at the same time can be amazing to watch. Hope you've enjoyed the images as much as I have!

As of Saturday, both barred owlets have branched! In the coming days, they will learn to fly and then just like little kids, they will be all over the place and harder to find haha.

I got to witness this intimate moment between mom and baby. She landed on the branch near baby and began to preen and pluck its feathers - presumably so it would only have its flight feathers for the important coming days. It's been so fun documenting this process!

Snake McMuffin!

The twin barred owlets must be growing like weeds - I saw an adult owl visit the nest 3x within an hour this morning and 2 of those were with fresh snakes! Check out this owlet slurping it down like spaghetti...

Still no sign of the littles but the adult barred owls are sure frequenting this tree!

After searching for my local barred owl family off

After searching for my local barred owl family off and on for the last 4 years since moving here, I have pretty high confidence I've finally located the nest! No sight/sound of any owlets yet, but given how the one adult often responds to hoots from the other from within this snag, I'd say babies are just around the corner 🤞🏻If only I could convince them to move into my solar power camera enabled owl box!

Thanks to advances in technology, we can really push the limits of our camera sensors. I was able to digitally crop way in to see the fine detail in the feathers around the eyes - I love how intricate the design is on this saw-whet owl.

Neighborhood watch was on again tonight -- and with great news! I don't think the dead barred owl I found last week was the one that lives closer to me as he was out hunting the roadside tonight!! 🙏

Top of the morning to ya! Anyone else feeling this way after being woken up by the thunderstorm last night?! Hopefully this snowy owl was resting up for its big adventure back north to the Arctic Circle.
