Great Owlets

The wife and I took a walk the other night, I heard the distinctive owl sounds that I love to listen to. This night we were quick to find where the sound was coming from by reviewing all the clues the owls leave behind. But this time there was something different. We started by only hearing 2 owls at first and then we heard 3 more for a total of 5. I can understand how people think we might be mistaken, but we were able to spot 4 of the owls and a 5th one was behind us. The result was we figured we were in the middle of some sort of courting ritual. The next morning, I went out and back to the place where we saw the owls, and to our surprise, we see a baby owl otherwise known as an owlet.

 

Well to make a long story shorter, I went out again for a walk this morning to check on my owlet friend and to my surprise… There isn’t just one, but 2. This is my second time coming upon a clutch of owls, but this is the first time coming up on Great Horned Owlets. I hope to post some more photos in the coming days.
