Sunset walks

We love them!

Tonight we saw 7 owls total!! We went to check on the little one we’ve been watching for several weeks. He’s really growing. I’m saying “he” only because Wren refers to him this way. You can’t tell the sex of a great horned owl by looking. I only know which of the adults is the mom because I know which one was on the nest. Also, the mom stays close. We saw dad tonight too, but he maintains a rather aloof distance. Here are some new pictures so you can see how the little one is growing!

Here is one of the other 4 owls I saw tonight…another mommy owl! She has 3 owlets.

We also enjoyed other migratory birds. We saw a common yellowthroat, a blue-winged warbler and a blue-grey gnatcatcher (one of my favorites!)

Wren’s hymn of comfort today is the hymn tune “KINGS FOLD”. She wrote the accompaniment.

We hope you enjoyed our sunset walk as much as we did!!
