ReplyDeleteHow precious are those little owlets!!! How fortunate that you get to see and experience this. Great photos!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! This is SO EXCITING! I am doing backflips for you!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! An owl nestbox . . . that is pretty cool Cat.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs and what joy it must have been looking through your lens. Do they screech for you too?
Carol, they are so quiet! They make these soft little trilling noises and sound somewhat like kittens!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. The wide eyed innocence in that owlet! And the fierce look of the mama. I am enchanted with your little family and how you have captured them.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! They are so cute!! I love how sweet and curious but careful they seem. The parents seem like tough cookies. It's official - I want an owl box, too!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are they!!!! I would be out in the garden all the time too just to see and hear them....
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful! Love that mom, dad and babes all look a little different. And that expression on the third shot down: priceless!
ReplyDeleteOh, how adorable!! I have heard owls at night so I should probably get a large birdhouse for them. Then maybe I would see baby owls, too. They are wonderful. I like the name of your blog. I, too, like whimsy in the garden. I saw a chest of drawers with plants in the drawers and of course I had to have that, too. Best wishes, Linda
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! They are so cute!!! I can't wait for you to capture their first flight!
ReplyDeleteAnd you know the owlets are sitting there thinking "Man, tomorrow we'll have to get up at dawn to see if this crazy lady is still down there taking pictures of us. What a Hoot!"
ReplyDeleteAww. And there they are. Are they constantly peeking out or did you have to wait long to take a picture of them?
ReplyDeleteHa ha - how nice to have this 'wild life' so nearby ! Great shots, Cat (and I see your star jasmine is doing very well !).
ReplyDeleteWe winter in Cape Coral, FL, home to one of the largest burrowing owl populations in the state - never tire of seeing them.
Have a great week.
Cat they are such darlings it must be wonderful seeing them in the real in your own garden no less, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletecontratulations on the previous post too, nice photo of you, Frances
Dear Cat,
ReplyDeleteThis posting meant the world to me today. I am wild about Screech owls, but they're so trusting I always worry about them.
Your photos and words are all perfect. I'm thankful that I took time to visit with you again today.
Keep up your great work!!
