Owlet

I pulled out the Bazooka lens to get some close-up and clear shots of the owlets.

Dusk colors on our way to check on the owls

While it was too dark to see in the nest with the naked eye, my iPhone’s LiDAR was able to see Nora Owl in the nest giving me the eye. I assume she was feeding the owlettes that we have not seen yet.

Can you find Nora Owl?

We’ve been checking the owl’s nest, but have not seen owlets yet.

Dawn

Jake and I walked down to check on Nora and Oseric Owl.

The first thing I noticed is the tree had broken off at a foot above the nest.

All the sawed-up logs from the foreground to the background are from the parts of the tree that broke off.

I could not tell if Nora was sitting on her eggs with the naked eye; however, after processing the image, I can see her back feathers.

I looked around and found Oseric sitting in his favorite lookout spot, watching over Nora.

I used this photo last May to illustrate where the owlets were in the tree. Approximately 50 feet of the tree broke off just above the nest and crashed into the alpacas’ pen below. The owlets will have little shade and no branches to explore until they are old enough to fly to other trees this year.

I hope none of the alpacas were injured when the tree broke off and fell into their pen.
