Daddy Owl was animated tonight, flying to different trees, and hooting as I walked along the levee.
Spunk giving me owl eyes.

Please Mr Owl ..
“In Need of a Wise Owl”
I’ve been searching the planet for our wisest owl
One that doesn’t droop his jowl, nor scowl
Are you the clever owl who will lead our world
Perched there stoically with wings unfurled
The statesman of our ancient forests
And guardian of our forgotten promises
Wisdom radiates from your knowing eyes
What do you observe from your throne in the sky
Are we honest enough, are we even worthy?
Have we enough modesty, are we even earthly?
Excellent response for Daddy Owl. Thanks, Ivor.
I’m not so clever as Ivor but I like to think Daddy owl was happy to see you and having a guys night out before the babies arrive.
Great shots!
Could be. Thanks, Dale.
My pleasure Timothy
Ah! What’s bugs doing in the lineup? Great pics, Tim.
Bugs ran out in front of me and then simply ignored me while I photographed him. He thought Daddy Owl was getting too much attention. Thanks, Jeff.
Haha! Got it. Owls 🦉 do that. At least for me they do. You’re most welcome, Tim.
So much to see here! The serious owl, the funny cat, the magnificent moon… Wow!
Thanks, Michele. You can’t forget Bugs Bunny!
You are welcome, Timothy. Can’t forget BB! As a I wrote… much to see here. 🐰😁
A beautiful series, Tim. Spunk looks quite regal up there on his perch, too.
More rain tonight, so thanks for the moon view.
Thanks, Lavinia. Clear and cold this morning.
I tried sending you some rain but the clouds insisted on going north.
That seems to be they way with rain. Thanks for trying.
‘Spunk’s got Daddy Wowl eyes…’ Seriously gorgeous pics. Lovely soft colors too
Spunk’s a wowler. Thanks, Shey.
Sure is!
Maybe Daddy Owl feels that spring is in the air…. 🙂 Spunk looks great with its big eyes and my compliments for the shot of the moon !
Thanks, Rudi.
Great stuff produced and presented again, Tim.
Spunk seemed comfortable, but just disturbed? Haha!
I called his name. Thanks, Inchcock.
I assumed so, it got a great reaction photo!
I think Spunk’s jealous of your night out with Daddy Owl and tries to convince you to take him with you! Of course Bugs couldn’t be anything else but a casual passer by! 😉
Spunk is too wild in the great outdoors. Bugs is a cute passer by.
👍
Wild Spunk! 😉
ThecOwl family is making itself seen perhaps they feel spring is on the way. The owl eyes have nothing on Spunk.
I believe you are right. Thanks, Holly.
😊
Daddy Owl is jamming. Or exercising. Maybe dancing. In any case, it seems like a good time and a nice set of photos
He was really interacting tonight. I think he’s a little board and lonely with Mama owl on the nest except to get meals from him. Thanks, JYP.
I feel for Daddy Owl, wanting to have some fun before the responsibilities of fatherhood. And it is kind of annoying to have a partner who just wants to nest and make you get her takeout. She’s got good reasons, but I also get Daddy Owl.
The owls be what they be. I’m sure they would just a soon be free of the weirdo paparazzo, but since he’s persistent, they might as well have some fun. Right. I’ve often wondered what Daddy Owl thinks about while perched for hours watching over mama owl and the owlets.
Wonder if Mamma is getting close to laying some eggs and putting Daddy on higher alert. Finally had a few Barreds show up in our woods, but no Great-Horned yet. They tend to like a bit more open area to hunt than we have available, but from time to time we’ll surprise each other when I have to take the pups out late at night. Dem’ Spunky Owl Eyes are creeping me out
Mama Owl has been on her egggs for almost three weeks. The owlets should be hatching out in the next couple of weeks. A we should see fuzzy heads in a week or two after that. Thanks, Brian.
lots of animal action here Tim. great captures!
Thanks, Cindy.
you’re so welcome!
Neat shots, Tim!
However, OMG, Spunkie-Poo 💋 totally bombed this post!
Spunk has to stay on top of the game. Thanks, Resa.
He’s sooooooo cute!!!!
Wonderful photos Tim! So good to see that handsome Spunk ..
Thanks, Julie.
