Overnite owls
March 20, 2021
This morning I looked at the overnite and took 4 pics.
The owlets can be seen now - but are huddled, hard to discern.
Mom showed up with a rat which one owlet tried to down whole - unsuccessfully.
5.30 am Dad comes with prey

I dont think their eyes are open yet.
March 9 both hatched

Baby owlets eyes will open 10-12 days after they hatch.

You can see BOTH owlets heads
They are growing
Their eyes are starting to open
They have HUGE mouths!

Mom went out to hunt but returned empty.  She may have needed to eat herself!  She went out twice and returned with nothing.  Clyde showed up at the nest with one tiny mouse which one hungry owlet gobbled down whole.

Mom left nest about noon for a long time, returned with a long snake.   

Owlets beginning to get feathers, eyes beginning to open, they are looking around

Pretty quiet in the nest.
Kids still arent moving around. At first today I didnt see them and thot they'd fallen out.  When they start branching they often fall - but dont worry - they dont get hurt.

Dad visits kids
April 6, 2021  Strong wind
The Dad is very invested in his kids.  He did not bring food.
I have seen males owls hand off a rat to his kids.
Others think it was Mom - so whooo knows
They said Mom fed rat to one owlet, so one is hungry

Kansas dawn - beautiful
