Owlets

Living in a city you do not often see owls, let alone owlets. In our little town we have a great horned owl who decided to make her nest in the local marketplace! I spent 20 minues this morning watching the owls, seeing how they interacted, seeing the different personalities, and of course taking pictures. At first all I could see was the mama owl.

Then mama did a bit of hopping around and a fuzzy owlet popped up!

A few minutes, and much hopping around, later owlet number two decided to come out.

The mother owl walked to the other side of the sign, with her owlets walking behind.  When they got to the other side I noticed one owlet always stayed right next to mama.  The other hung back a little bit and stayed out of sight as much as possible.  When they got back to their original starting place, owlet #2 promptly crawled back underneath mama owl and was not to be seen again.  Owlet #1 stayd glued to his mamas side for quite awhile. 

So much enjoyment found sitting in a parking lot with a camera.  Take time for the little things that pass by so quickly.
