Very shortly after the adults left, one of them (I think it's the mother) returned with prey in one of her talons. She landed next to the juvenile, ripped out and fed bits of it to the juvenile. But the juvenile kept going for the entire prey. Mother eventually gave the entire prey to the juvenile which attempted to swallow it whole, succeeding the second attempt. (28 Jul 2017)

Look who's back!! I hadn't seen this character since June. What a tame bird it was this evening. I was shooting with a 70-300mm lens from distances as close as 12 feet. Unfortunately, it was rather dark outside, so I was using a higher ISO than I normally use, and the shutter speeds were still very low.

Este enigmático búho de nuestros bosques, especie temida en ocasiones por sus peculiares vocalizaciones, dando origen a mitos como el tue-tué o chon-chón, espíritus malignos de la mitología chilota que llaman a la desgracia. Lamentablemente dicha mitología no refleja la belleza de esta ave tan particular y poco conocida en muchos aspectos de su biología y ecología.
I was heading for the car when I saw this guy fly up into the tree. It was getting late, so I took a bunch of shots at ISO 1600, handheld. He allowed me to get pretty close, so I tried going to my (nearby, luckily) car to get my tripod. As you can see by the next two shots in the comment section, he hung around for that, although he moved to different perches. Right after the horizontal shot he took off and flew straight toward me! Of course I had no time to move the camera before he landed practically at my feet, snatched up something to eat, and flew back to the perch in the last shot. He landed facing away from me so I couldn't get a good look at what he found.

I was able to retrieve the SD Card from my Tawny Owl Nest Box Trail Cam during voluntary work for the conservation group in Nidderdale and have more footage from the nest box.
It was a rainy night with no sign of a mate yet so clearly "too-wet-too-woo!

This was a very difficult lighting situation and I did my best to edit it to look as I seen it with my eyes. In order to keep the BG from being blown out I exposed for the BG but I had some harsh shadow recovery. The original exposure is posted below to give you an idea how hard it was. Only some minor cloning in the upper left to remove 2 hotspots.
