I normally would never see Momma Great Horned Owl out hunting around 4 pm … long before sunset, but when you have two hungry juvenile owlets to feed sometimes one just does NOT get to sleep as long as desired (yesterday in the Lester / Amity Forest on the northern edge of Duluth). Sound familiar parents?! As an additional fyi, the chickadees would not leave her along.

The Return of FuzzBall!
Well sort of! FuzzBall now requires me to hike approximately a mile in the Lester / Amity Forest and Search for the owlet. Yesterday evening I found both owlets hanging out in a tall white pine tree. As always I took a few photographs.
My daughter when she tries to get good pictures of her four children makes the promise that if the kids are good, they are allowed to make a “goofy face” for the final photo. FuzzBall the Great Horned Owlet and I used the same approach.

In addition, I finally had time to process two videos of the owlets which I took a little over one week ago on the day the owlets had their big reunion … FuzzBall and Junior Together Again (video links for email subscribers: one | two)
Boreal Forest Bird Song (Haikubox)
Although I am still learning the features of my new Haikubox which automatically 24×7 ID’s bird songs of the boreal forest in my back yard (see my full review of Haikubox), a new feature has already been released. The new feature allows any Haikubox owner (like me) to provide a web link allowing anyone to follow in real time my Haikubox … no app, or account required. This Belted Kingfisher’s chatter, which was recorded by Haikubox while fishing Amity Creek, was impressed!
