Got home from 10 days traveling on Saturday and on Sunday afternoon my wife and I went to see how the owls are doing. Mom was off the nest perched with Dad nearby. Terrible lighting, but you can really see the size difference. While we we there one of the owlets hopped from the stack of mulch with the nest to next one over. Once agin a surprising number of people were totally unaware of the owls' presence until they saw me taking pictures.

you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad people are enjoying them. It's certainly been a treat for me. It will be interesting to see if HD tries to discourage them from coming back next year. It seems to be working out very well for the owls.
