I spy with my little eye


These two owlets in a local park were both watching something small that must have been moving down inside the nest cavity. Photo taken on 27 April 2014, before these young ones fledged to the nearest tree. Now they are both very high up in a tree, with Mom.
When I returned on 1 May 2014, I was surprised to find that both owlets had fledged (between 27 April and 1 May). It was so disappointing to see that this had happened so quickly - usually, they spend quite some time practising, flapping and exercising their wings while perched on the rim of the nest. Just so thankful that I was lucky enough to see them on the rim and managed to get a few photos of them before they did leave the nesting tree. Unfortunately, there will be quite a few disappointed people. Photo taken from a distance using lots of zoom.
The sun is actually shining this morning, which feels wonderful. (Half an hour later - where did the sun go?) We had just a sprinkling of snow overnight. Is it possible that this was the very last snow this spring?
Several hours later, around 3:00 p.m., it's SNOWING (lightly and briefly)! Sigh .....
