On June 12 I saw my
fifth group of owlets, the second burrow of owlets on Pellett Road. There were two owlets and I saw both parents, one standing off aways and the other feeding the owlets. One June 21 I saw the burrow again, but this time I found three owlets and the one parent that was present was hunkered down in the burrow, much more so than the owlets, and it was not until I watched for quite a while that I saw much more than a portion of her eyes and the top of her head.

The owlet next to parent rises up, but parent stays down. |

Synchronized head turning. |
Those yellow eyes are piercing. Love the synchronized head movements.
