Owl in box Sat and Sun. I'm not ready. Did emergency maintenance Sun night. No owl today. Could still get early nesting. Hope not.

Owl in the nest box today.

Today's owl. I can't help but think nesting is on its mind, and that it's a month too early. Not that I get any say.

It doesn't appear that there's any activity here this year..nothing on Twitter by Chris and no blog postings since Feb.

[Dumpsterkitty]

He doesn't seem to have much time for updating his site. Hopefully there is action but we just don't know about it yet...

[Kris G.]

Someone messaged me on Twitter, asking if I knew anything about Chris and what's going on.  She's direct messaged him and emailed him from his blog with no answers from him.  She's worried..anyone know anything?

Chris has been dealing with pretty difficult work-related issues for a while; hopefully things will start easing up now. He said I could report that there are four healthy owlets in the owl box; their eyes aren't open yet - just hatchlings. He is getting and saving the traditional 15-second (if I remember correctly) black-and-white captures and when he has time he says he plans to start putting up the traditional "dailies."  He is not getting the fancy video he had last year, but we'll take what we can get, huh. As for when we can expect to start seeing them, no one can say. Who knows, maybe we'll have an off-season nest box to keep us entertained this year! In any case, all is well.

Thanks, Dale!  I'll pass the info along!

I am grateful Chris puts the info and pics out there. I can wait. Just glad for the good news.

missed this

[dale]

video is apparently back! i haven't checked, just got word

[dale]

yep. I just watched (full screen) a tiny owlet sitting up in a mess of flat-out, snoring siblings, gazing at the entryway and doing that very careful head-calibration that owlets do. I'm honored . . . moved . . . and besotted.
