The owner of the Roy and Dale cam - Owlcamguy - always picks a theme for naming the new clutch. Last clutch was the Heroes so all the owlets had hero's names, The clutch before that were the Outlaws. The theme for this new clutch is "Songbirds" named after a very sweet chatter that loved watching Roy and Dale. Songbird passed away and to honor her the new clutch will be named for her.
It's been a quiet morning for Dale, at least while I have been watching. She has been rearranging feathers and not much else. From posts elsewhere it is reported that "Wrangler Roy picks up the pace with 2 gophers, 1 headless, 1 slider and 1 mouse delivered overnight to Dale."
Roy came home later than usual last night because it was raining. He finally showed up with a nice mouse for Dale, did IT and as usual immediately after doing the "dance" he goes to the porch to take in some fresh night air.

Roy and Dale 912pm 3-9-13
Still no sign of a pip tonight. Roy brought Dale a slider mouse and did the dance with her. He immediately went out on the porch to get some fresh air - as usual. Dale is doing non stop chittering for him to come back inside but I think he's asleep.
For those new to the Roy and Dale site, here is a little bit of history and what the box looks like from outside. http://owlchannel.com/hideout.html

So after awhile Dale did let us have another look. Skylark was not holding up her head but you could clearly see her wings and the rest of her body. She had her back to the camera, so no view of her head was possible at that time.

It still amazes me as gentle as the owls are with their talons. Something that can so quickly take life of prey can so gently care for their young ones.
