My Mother's Owl, 2010: Owlets!


Owls nested in my mother's owl nest box for the first time (that we know of or saw) last year; you can see one of them here. But this year, we have seen the owlets! I present to you Castor and Pollux. We hope she will forgive me for momentarily forgetting which is which, but you can tell them apart by their eyes. These photos are from last Thursday, 5.6.2010, the first day they were spotted.

They look like muppets! Mind you, the one with the big wide eyes reminds me of my cat too!

That's funny the all owl thing: I saw these pics on your blog yesterday morning, at lunch time I went to see a photo exhibition, and there were 4 portraits of owls! That was an owl day.

WOW! I love those. Thanks, Mya! I'm laughing at the mugshot elements of those photos...as though the photographer had all the owls pose against the same grey background while they were being processed for jail. Too much "Law & Order" watching, I think.
