Hi Dot. She’s feed by daddy owl. She gets out for a fly about every now and then, but she mostly just sits there and complicates owl life, owl universe and everything owl.
Lovely shots. We have a canal running along the edge of our property. There are no boats at the moment so the Nutria have taken over and you see them swimming full steam. Rather fun.
The owls are gorgeous. I take it they mate for life?
Mama sure is cute, camouflaged, and deadly looking!
Do the Loch Ness Beavers do any damage, or are they contributors to the eco system in the bosque?
They cut down elm trees and willows, which I see as a good thing. They are far more beneficial than the damage they cause to pesky elm trees. I wish the Conservancy would leave them alone.

I loves these tales from the bosque. Beautiful photos, Tim, especially the owls.
Thanks, Lavinia. As I mentioned the beaver photos have a Loch Ness feel to them. I guess big foot photos have the same grainy look as well.
I like the beaver and the owl. Excellent .
Thanks, rabirius.
I think it’s time to watch that beaver-video again…
The Angry Beavers are ready to rock. Thanks, Herman.
Love especially the “Pensive Mama Owl” in its poetry of image and words.
Thanks, puzzleblume. They are majestic and poetic.
It is good to see mama owl 🙂
Thanks, Harry.
You mean for 33 days of incubation the Mama Owl just sitting like that all the time, without ever coming out of her brood? 🐢

owl you are really a good observer of owl life, owl universe and everything owl-related 🦆🐸🍄
I’ve been owling for a long time: https://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2015/10/not-all-the-rage

Watching the critters swim is a lot of fun. Thanks, Couriers.
A day in the life… your property is magical!!!
Thanks, Julie.
Wonder if tulips have opened around here. Nice you don’t have to go far for them.
I can photograph the wysteria from the windows. We have quite a few tulips up right now. Thanks, Teri.
It does look like the Loch Ness monster!!!! Beautiful shots, Tim, especially mama owl! 🙂
Thanks, Marina. Mama owl is adorable. The owlets, once they start appearing are super adorable.
Oh, I can imagine!!!! 🙂
Fantastic photo of the mama owl. I think it deserves a Maine “Wowsah!”
Wonderful photos of your wildlife, Tim! The most wildlife we have around here are opossums, skunks, and an occasional coyote.
We have skunks and coyotes, but no opossums. Thanks, Tiffany.

Right on!
The details caught in your photos really tell a story – from dawn til dusk!

Thanks, Charlotte. I end up doing a lot of photos in really poor light to capture these critters.
Mama owl sure looks like she is hiding! Great shot .. so well camouflaged
Thanks, Julie. Great horned owls really blend into cottonwood trees.
