Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn at 5:30 am.
The wind blew clouds and smoke through this afternoon making beautiful cloudscapes.
Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Saturn for breakfast.

I wonder what we are having for dinner?
Oh boy! Mama brought us a gopher!
Mama got in the nest and started feeding the owlets bits of gopher.
The biggest owlet climbed out of the nest while Mama still fed gopher bits to the other owlets.
Buddy is Wowled out. But there is still more to go, Buddy!
The next owlet got out of the nest, Mama fed the littlest owlet a few more gopher bits then she got out of the nest.
All three watched the smallest owlet gnaw on the gopher before Mama flew off to look for another gopher.
The two older owlets hung out on the edge for a while before one jumped back into the nest. The third owlet pondered the nest. It was getting dark when the feeding frenzy started, is was dark while the third owlet pondered, so we left it looking at its sibling.

Spunk eyes me at bedtime. A nurse asked me if I feel safe at home during a pre-doctor visit screening yesterday. I told her “Yes!” I might have lied to her coming to think about it.
Sunset
Owlets after sunset. The second photo is of Mama Owl blinking a moment before she took flight. As you can see there are three little faces.
The wind blew hard all day yesterday and well into the night.

These photos were from the moonrise on April 14th. I posted vultures that day.

Loki: “Stupid dogs!”
Intermission. ????

Afternoon Skies
Sun at sunset
While Mama Owl was up in the tree shootin’ the breeze, the little wowls were bobbing around in the nest. One of the wowlets tried to peek over the edge of the nest giving us a little beak peek.
Flowers are blooming despite the drought and freezing mornings.

Moonrise
A look into the night sky.
April’s full moon is called the Pink Moon. It rose with orange and pinks in the sky at sunset.
Happy Easter from the Easter Bunny and Easter Beaver!
Pink Moon shining yellow in Tiffany’s, Gigi’s, and Resa’s Trees.
Venus, Mars, Saturn, and two stars were nicely aligned this morning. On the 25th at 5:30 am, Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, Mars, and Saturn will be lined up similar to this morning. However, It might be too light for me to see Mars and Saturn at 5:30 am on the 25th. I’ll see.
The moon was surfing a contrail this afternoon.

Wild clouds moved through.
