We want our Mom


I was really hoping that I'd see Mom in flight yesterday afternoon and that I'd be able to get an in-flight shot! I was so lucky! When I looked closely at this image, I couldn't believe my eyes at first - it looked like there were THREE owlets, not two, LOL! Not sure what the tallest "head" is. I wonder if it's a dead bird that Mom had brought back for her babies. When Mom had flown off the nest and into the grove of trees across the park road from the nesting tree, she was a few trees away from her mate, who always sits there to guard his family. Both adults started calling and I began to wonder if one of the owlets was ready to fly out of the nest. One of them certainly stretched up and out and looked as if it wanted to leave the nest. I would post a photo showing the whole tree and the road to give you an idea of how far away this nest actually is, but I really don't want to advertize the location any further.
