Camouflaged Owls & Women Who Stand Out
One reason people don't notice owls.
She blends in nicely, eh?It was 28 degrees, cloudy and windy when we went to visit the Owls early this morning. We didn't see Dad, which I hope is a good thing. Up until today, we have always seen Dad sitting in his tree a few yards away from the nest. I had started wondering if he was doing a good job of hunting and feeding his family, since he seemed to be planted in one place. Hopefully today he is out getting them a big juicy rabbit. Oh...
The first time we visited, we saw a little baby movement for a moment. A week ago, my friend saw a set of baby eyes peaking out. But this morning, I think it was too cold for a little ball of down to want to come out from under Mom's warm belly.
I'm wondering if there is only one baby. Usually we see two or three. Stay tuned. The roving Owl reporter will keep you updated as events unfold.

Back to Black...
Hooray! I've missed my Saturday standing over the past couple of weeks. I just got back from standing for part of our vigil. It was SO GOOD to be back among the powerful Women in Black. Even though I enjoy the women, admire their dedication, and find it entertaining to watch the people in rolling metal go by, I am OK if violence retreats into kindness and caring for all. I promise. I'll find something else to do and another excuse to visit my friends. Until then... you'll know where to find me on Saturdays.

Carol, I love your owl updates. And as to you Women in Black, you would have really stood out here this morning. Alas, we woke up to 2 inches of snow! Here's hoping it's winter's last blast and Spring will get a grip now.
Hey San,
Sorry about the snow... We got our couple of inches of it Thursday and since spring is TRYING to come, it is melted now.
If Santa Fe is like Denver, it can still receive snow for another month.
Oy.
Oh! The owls nest! Great! Thanks! The nest appears larger than I had imagined it.
BTW, this morning a robin in my front yard told me that Spring is coming (back). I would have conversed longer with him, but he was out looking for a winter coat to buy.
Carol, I celebrate your being back in the awing—er, standing—of things.
Check out these owls a SE Colorado birder watches. http://secoloradobirding.blogspot.com/2008/04/baby-owls.html
Otowi,
Thanks! They are SO CUTE! These babies appear to have been born earlier than the ones by me.
Oh, they are SO CUTE!
Yeah, I think he said on his blog they were born last year.
