Iceberg @ Dawn

No much left of this iceberg floating down the Rio Grande at dawn.

Owlet @ Dawn

What looks like either a flycatcher or western bluebird hanging out above Mama Owl. I think it figured it’s less likely to become dinner above Mama than below Mama.

For my just-in-time delivery of today’s photos, I have a new office dog, flowers, roses, and the half-moon.

Mary and Paul. Mama Owl after she delivered a mouse to Peter.

Mama Owl flew back and forth with food for the owlets three times while we were out with them last night. It was dusk, and she was giving the owlets their meals behind a mess of leaves, so I couldn’t get the exchanges of food, but Peter was proud of his mouse and acted like he had a mouse cigar in his beak for quite a while before he finally ate it.
