It’s a real challenge to get a bat in flight at dusk.

Bluebirds In Love

Male and female Western Bluebirds. They seem to be a pair of lovebirds.
Matt & Leslie’s new Husky Cross they rescued. Her name is Sasha. She looks a little like our wolf, Mosby.
“Whatcha looking at?”
“Talk to the tail feathers, Paparazzo!”
While the crowd and owlets were waiting for Mama Owl to bring dinner, she was perched on a tree looking for something to catch for dinner.

D-Wowl & Wowlet Action
Jupiter moved further around to the right of Venus this morning. Mars and Saturn are really spreading out.

Conjunction? Not!
Behind all those clouds Jupiter and Venus were conjoining. It’s supposed to be clear on Friday morning for the second conjunction of Jupiter and Venus.
Since I couldn’t see the conjunction, I was hoping for a colorful sunrise, but no such luck.
While it might look like Daisy Duck was gabbing to Donald Duck, she was chasing insects.
A very large wasp ran up to me and then turned and retreated when I moved my foot.
Daisy and Donald kept flying by us and landing ahead of us.

Let Them Eat Duck
Major Tom Peepers out of the nest, Mona Lisa getting ready to get out of the nest.
All three owlets got out of the nest tonight. Sleepy finally got out but then fell back into the nest. Daddy Owl caught and something and brought it to Mama Owl. They tore it apart and then Mama Owl flew it over to the owlets and fed them. Dinner turned out to be a duck. It got too dark to get decent photos of the whole feeding, but Mama Owl tore pieces of the portion of the duck she had, gave the smaller pieces to Major Tom Peepers and Mona Lisa, and the largest portion to Sleepy. Sleepy is the runt, and Mama Owl is taking extra care of him. Since it’s late, I put the photos in a gallery that you can click on and have a slide show of the owlets getting out of the nest and the feeding.
