Was that "kissy face" or "get the heck outa here"? Hmmm... He is a bit smaller than she is. Great catch, Patticake! I dunno why everyone but you was so worried about her being alone and all.

Me either Pop. Just worried us to death for nothing!
Just as I was about to shut my computer down for the night Mrs. S got up and there it was! A PIP!!! And the owlet was chirping it's little head off!!! YAY!!!
Mom Savannah is being a very good raptor mom protecting her eggs. She gave us a tiny look for a split second. Doesn't look like much progress if this is all there is. Maybe there's more cracks in the egg that we got to see. pip 2-3-15.PNG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
Your endurance and tenacity paid off, patti. Great video, thanks. The way Mrs S sticks to that nest it may be weeks before we see the little bird again.

Patti said that was his playmate...I 1st thought the dang baby was not normal....huge and looked kinda sick.....but, it's just food for the pantry. Cute little ball of fluff. Think we say the same about PoP.
I watched Mrs. Savannah feed her baby this morning. Every once in awhile I got a glimpse of the little white fluff ball darting it's head toward the food being offered but Mom is keeping it safe and sound underneath her for now. She looks like an old pro at this stuff. I don't think this is her first rodeo. When the sun came up the crows started their morning job of pestering Mom and she followed their movements with her big eyes and beak snapped at them. It's good to see the rain has ended and she's drying out.
Approx. 7:40 a.m. nest time... After some HOOTing back & forth, MrGA/GHO LANDED on THE NEst... had a "small" treat for her & Kid(s). A CROW was NOT Happy w/him to come into the area! LOTs of cawwwwwwwwwwwing from the Crow & other crows seemed to join in.

I hope The Crows in the area do NOT keep MrGa/GHO away. I'm sure she w/be careful when she leaves the nest now that her little one(s) are making noise. There was a PiP in 2nd egg, viewed overnite.Capture020615a.PNG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Little Pee Wee stuck his head out in the sunshine today and luckily the zoomer was watching, too.

I did get to capture the first view of both when MoM took off for her "duty" trip.... Hard to see that there really are 2 there in the white "fur" ball. Capture0206pm.PNG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

MoM GA/GHO hoots softly before she leaves... AND REALLY scouts the area before she leaves the nest. DO you think she tells "The Kids" to keep their heads down and to keep quiet while she's gone? Not to attract those crows while she is away??? They seemed to listen.
