Bittersweet Solution To Our Mystery.

Our second adult is still missing but we now understand the shadows and second owls we saw Thursday and Friday.  Photographs and video revealed that there at least two hatchlings in the cavity today.

The female.  Still no sign of the male.
Who’s this?  I just dismiss it as a blurry image of the female.

The third night of only the female.  Was the male badly injured?  Did we get the sexes wrong and are they nesting?  A mystery.

It was a crisp winter evening.
