Thanks Judy, I was running late this morning, but the first thing I did was check on the owlets, and learned of his demise. I was going to post now if no one else did. I wonder if his hunger was the reason he fell twice...or more? Poor little guy. Will cross fingers and pray for the other 2. I have seen them eat 2 times so far this evening. There sure have been a lot of food deliveries, so it's hard to think that one of them would starve. Maybe because the one was able to get to the tray and start taking most of the food then for himself. Thank you, Judy.

I'm saddened to read owlet didn't survie. two healthy owlets is good!

How sad the youngest die of starvation. I wonder if the older 2 grabbed all the food deliveries?

owlets were resting around 7:00.pm when I looked in on them. One owlet shortly sprung to life, jumping, hopping, shaking itself so hard downy feathers were flying everywhere - lots of fun watching this one, its sib just watched owlets antic's. When it came up close to the camera, staring right through it, then owlet ups and attacks the cam...did this a few times' today - seems like a fun new game to play

Finally! I found an owl home at BOT. I don't know if anyone else will be
watching this nest this year, but I will pop in from time to time.

Bluee!!! how exciting!! I have been looking daily because they are late compared to last year. I have been watching the feather shrivel up and watching for it to move. ha ha Thank you for the update. Will watch more intently now. Let the season begin, and lets hope for a good, safe and healthy one filled with lots of prey.
