"The Who" Part 2

Four days after I posted the series of photos showing Mama Barred Owl feeding one of the owlets, I went back into the wooded area they call home (for now) to make sure they were all still there.

Suddenly, after looking everywhere and not spotting any of the owls, Mama flew onto the scene with a dark object in her talons and ducked into the woods. I followed her and luckily came across Mama feeding her prey to one and then two of the owlets. The third owlet was nearby but was reluctant to make the short flight required to join the family at dinner.

I was able to watch the dinner scene in its entirety:

                                         The two kids jockeyed for position and one actually
                                         fell, unharmed, off the branch.

The remaining owlet enjoyed the plat du jour consisting of a duck of some kind, possibly a wood duck. You can see the dangling webbed foot.

                          Eventually, owlet #2 made it back to the dinner branch.

                   

                           

 When mom got tired of serving dinner, she took off to rest and watch her favorite TV show, "Who's Your Mama?" followed by, "America's Got Talons."
