Osric Owl
Owlku
We have made contact
Major Tim to Osric Owl
Where might Nora be?
Osric Owl preening and stretching while keeping an eye on the tree Nora Owl is in.
Osric Owl and Nora Owl were in a tree about a mile north of us. Two large limbs broke off of their tree ruining their nest in 2021. I saw them with their owlets last year in a bosque between a horse and the llama farm about 1/4 mile north of us. I found Osric owl in a tree above a horse stall on the llama farm tonight. By observing the trees in his line of sight and watching him closely to see where he looked for an answer after he hooted, I think I spotted the broken tree where I think Nora Owl is sitting on her eggs. The tree is in the middle of the horse coral at the llama farm.
I think Nora Owl is nesting in the broken tree in the middle of the coral.
It couldn’t get a shot of the full opening in the broken tree, but this photo shows part of the opening.
I got back home to a fiery sunset.
Off Center & Not Even 
So happy to see him.
Thanks, Susan.
Oh wow, Tim! That is fantabulous! So glad you were able to find Osric and possibly Nora. Wonderful shots of him. And what a great sunset to cap it all off.
Thanks, Dale. I figured I needed to get off my butt, and go out and find some owls. Life just isn’t right this time of year without owls.
Well, ya done good and you are right. You have created that need for us to be in on the owl goings on!
The owls will get me going out looking for things again, also.
That’s definitely a wonderful thing š
This is so great. Iām glad you found these owls again!
You are also capturing some beautiful watercolor skies! I love them. š
Thanks, Susan. We have to have owls this time of year.
Nice owlku for an intense moment of interspecific communication! I wish them luck with their this-year’s-upbringing of further lovely little owlets and opportunities for you, to watch them (and take photos, of course).
Thanks, Heidi.
They’ve come specially for you TImothy.
Ha. They just be wowls. Thanks, Shey.
Ah but they knew you needed to know to keep up the good work.
That could be.
Very exciting, hopefully we will also see Owl Nora in the coming weeks…
At least you have a strong idea where she has her nest now.
We should see her with little ones before long. Thanks, Rudi.
What a gift this is, Tim!
I was sure they would come back.
Here’s to eventually discovering your beautiful nest too!
…and to top this, painter created a beautiful painting for you …and us!
Thanks, Marina.
A fabulous photograph – let’s hope that they are reunited soon. š
They will be with little ones. Thanks, Janet.
I look forward to seeing pictures of that….
Well, hellooooo, Osric! That sky really does look like it’s on fire.
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Great post, Timothy!
Thanks, Dawn.
Well spotted. Here’s to proof soon…
Thanks, Couriers.
I love the owlku, Tim! I am glad you found Osric and Nora, and that they are not too far from you. Based on your photo, you may be able to see the little owlets pop up. The sunsets there are as lovely as always.
We got about 1/2′ of snow overnight. Looks pretty right now. I took a few photos before it could melt. The old Sony Cybershot P93 camera finally died, and I am trying out a used Canon A800 now.
Thanks, Lavinia. How old was the old cybershopt? You really get use out of stuff. Is Seabisket still going?
The Cybershot was roughly 20 years old. I think we got it about the time we moved here. Old Seabisquit the 1993 Subaru Impreza ( I spell it with a q to avoid confusion with the racehorse ) is still going and had some repairs this winter. I got the used van, the Jupiter II, in 2021 in case we have a bad fire year and have to evacuate. I can get people and cats in that one as well as some supplies. It also serves as a truck of sorts.
YAY! It’s not the end of an era! I look forward to the Owl postings!
I’ve gotta run out for food right now. We’ve been eating mostly beans for the last 2 weeks. You know the story! Lol
Will answer mail and visit more posts when I get back. xo
Thanks, Resa. The owls can continue.
Great shot of Osric. Glad you were able to track down this year’s home – clever placement in a llama farm – if any pesky humans get to close, they’ll spit on ’em ha.
The say owls are actually not very smart compared to other birds, but they seem smart enough when it comes to choosing nest sites. Those llamas can pe spitters. Thanks, Brian.
The Owlku, and the owl babies
And then you got home to a fiery sunset!
Love the ending
Thanks to Osric
Interesting choice of names –
Osric is one of Shakespeareās most famous and entertaining minor characters.
For a while we were naming all our black cats after Shakespeare’s minor characters. Thanks, abvr.
Oh, I never picked it up. That is pretty cool.
All our cats with Shakespeare names have passed on.
Oh I’m sorry. Our family cat Tinka is also for a while now at rest.
Great shots, Timothy. I hope there will be lots more owlet pictures coming up.
Should be. Thanks, Roberta.
We used to have an owl live near our prior home, and I loved watching it do its owl thing. Nice to see the owl love here!
We have a lot of owls. We get to listen to them in surround sound most nights. Thanks, Bruce.
OH A YAY IN MY WEDNESDAY TIMā£ļø
Happy your eyes seem to be working better cuz that’s a tiny shot to see. Hope they are in the hole.. so cold. š
My autofocus is working well. It took me a long time to find Osric Owl. Thanks, Cindy.
Oh good.. glad to hear that! š
Osric is looking dapper. Great shots, Tim. Plus that sunset is one of your best. Hugs.
Thanks, Teagan.
Oh wonderful! You found them! Stay well little owl friends!
Thanks, Nancy.
What stunning shots, and what a cool story about the owls!! š¦š A beautiful sunset is always a great way to end the day. š
Since my neighbor cut down the tree Mama owl had been nesting in since 2017, it’s nice to reconnect with Osric and Nora again. Thanks, Samantha.
Here he is. He is gorgeous. I hope she is where you said. I cannot wait to see the little ones. What a wonderful post. Thank you for sharing ššŗ
You are welcome, Gabriela.
It’s owl right again!
Hahaha! Yes. Thanks, Geoff.
Hey Osric so pleased that you and Nora are back! Well done for finding them .. Wow Tim, these photos are just super! Love that fiery sunset to finish the day
Thanks, Julie.
I love your shots of the owls Tim. The first image of him looking almost straight-on at you…not only did you capture the shot but you captured the “look” and I can’t explain it any other way in words. Just wonderful.
They do have that “look.” Thanks, Sylvia.
