I checked on the second owl nest today, and didn't find them at home at first. I had to search around and eventually located them upslope from their nest tree. I found mom, pop, and one baby. The young bird was very cute and more interested in me than its parents were. He was fluffy, covered in white down, and his dark eyes were rimmed with his darker facial feathers, creating a masked look. Both baby and mom seemed hot, and it was a hot day, with the warm air invading even the usually cool Redwood forest. The female lifted up her feathers to expose her tarsi (legs), in an apparent effort to cool herself off. I left them in peace after making sure that one fledgling was all I could find.
Tonight, I owl.
