Hilarious food drop off.
We don’t know if we have hatchlings yet or not. I haven’t heard their little squeaks yet.

Owlie update: Leroy delivered a mouse to Lucille this morning because sitting eggs is hard work.

Here you can clearly see Leroy’s size, compared to Lucille’s, sitting in the same spot in the next one 👇.

Owlie Update:
Leroy has begun food drop-offs. Lucille is inside, likely sitting eggs. The little eyes peeking out always get me.
There was a squirrel eviction last week. That’s becoming annual.

Our Western Screech Owls are back & starting to nest in the box! 🥹
This is Leroy. He’s singing to Lucille. This will be their 3rd year nesting with us. We couldn’t be more excited!
They’ve raised 5 babies in our front yard, so far.

Our screech owls don’t nest until February but they did their first stop-by inspection of the nest box this week last year, so my husband made sure it was ready. We keep it closed due to squirrels otherwise.
Hopefully we passed.🤞
This’ll be year 3 w/owlets if so.

Leroy & Lucille brought a baby back to visit! 🥹
We’d closed up shop so the squirrels don’t take over, but opened it up in case they visit again. According to the timeline of screech owl development, it’s probably baby’s last week with Mom & Dad. 🥲

Owlie update:
See those 3 little faces?
Tonight Leroy called them to a tree across the street. That’s the direction the babies went last year on their final night with us, off to next phase of hunting training. So, maybe goodbye? 🥺

These babies have 3 distinctive personalities & looks. I’m wondering if one is a boy & that’s why he’s smaller & more skittish.

Baby’s first walk. 🥹
Garlic makes his first “flight” up to the next branch at the end.

She made the best of it, though. This is Onion.
We have Garlic, Onion, & Butter.

I’d like to report a crime. One sibling pushed the other out of the box on Tuesday! She doesn’t look like she was happy about it at all.

The dismount out of the box looks like it was kind of scary.

If you look closely, you can see the baby claws on the edge of the hole/perch.

Owlie update: we have our first baby sighting. She is so little! She uses her little beak to pull herself up. She’s a little smaller than a chick (baby chicken). 🥹
The head bobs help them see in 3D.
She must’ve been so proud of herself.
