Thursday, May 3rd

By D. Bruce YoltonOwls

A wonderful 60 degree evening with a crystal clear sky.  Chris, her dog Fig, Maureen and I were the regulars for the evening.

The owls resting spots for the day. Left to right, fledgling, Herringbone and Trident.
Fledgling is looking more and more like an adult each day.
Vertical stripes on its chest are coming in.
It’s flying much better, knows how to land, but still has some juvenile behaviors, like head bobbing.
Herringbone returned to the nest cavity.
The fledgling with the “adult chest”
All three were together briefly across the drive, where we then lost them.  One moved while this picture was being taken, so it appears as a ghost.
