I placed another tick in a box last night. I was beginning to think I would never see an owl feed their babies. They seemed to shy away from doing that within eyesight of me. Then, last night I saw and heard them in all one areas again.
The one parent flew to the same tree as the children. I could not tell if it had someone, but someone I was with said they saw it was holding a chipmunk. If you look carefully under the branch you see dangling legs.
The parent flew to another tree and the owlets followed.
The parent then proceeded to tear out pieces of the chipmunk and feed them to the owlets.
They don’t always do this within view. Sometimes it is high up in the tree tops with leaves blocking the view. I was so happy to see this tonight. Owls are predators. It is what they do to survive.

Yes, I feel lucky! Thought I might see it again two nights ago. I saw the mom bring in a vole or mole, but never saw a hand off.

Two nights ago the mom brought in either a mole or vole. One was so hungry while it waited it was eating leaves.

My father used to build owl nests and set it up all over the farm in South Africa. The owls loved it and came back year after year.

If I had my own property I would do the same. A good way to see them regularly. These owls are in the same general area but nest in different spots year to year. Last year I think they were nearby on a rich person’s private land.
