I knew the baby owls would eventually start leaving the nest, but I only see two of the three owletts. The one is content to sleep the day away still in the nest, while this guy is in a nearby tree. I found the mother owl, but not the male. I plan to keep looking and hope they are rejoined as a family.

Located in an old cottonwood tree by Johnson Res, Colorado. About 50 yards up the road is a bald eagles nest. The eagles are fond of hauling home ducks from the resevoir to feed their babies, so the owl babies must go unnoticed or become the next meal.

The parents are very careful not to attend the nest during the day, only at night.
