Saying Good-Bye to this Year’s Owl Family

Momma Great Horned Owl has been enticing her owlets to move a little bit every night. I suspect food is the motivating factor. Each morning the owlets would be in a tree about 15 yards further away from the nest than the prior day. I believe the goal was to leave the thicket for much denser forest regions. And now the owl family is gone!

Here are the final faces the owlets made at me (actually the second image is an owl pellet upchuck in progress).
