Fred and Ginger!!!

Just a quick update on the new additions to the Ward Family Owls...Fred and Ginger. Sorry for the picture quality as I am just taking pics off the TV screen when I see something I think will interest you. The first picture shows you a small cache of food.

This video was taken when Hootie was out doing a little hunting on April 21st. If you listen REALLY carefully you can hear them chirping..........is that an owl term???

And this one was taken today April 23rd.

As you can see they have been doing quite a bit of growing in just 2 days!!

While I was filming Fred and Ginger, Hootie returned to the nest. Again not the best quality but thought you would like to see it anyways. She will leave the nest a little more often now but, always stays close. If I head out to check the box she is usually only a few trees away watching.

Although this is neither Fred nor Ginger I thought you might like to see one of the other visitor to the yard the other day. He was almost directly under the nest box when I first saw him and had hoped to get a picture of that but it took a few minutes for me to grab a camera so this is the best I could do!!!

That is my update for the week....they should be growing quickly now and it only gets more fun from here!!!
