Owlets

We have, what we believe is a little screech owl living in one of our oak trees in the backyard. While eating dinner outside tonight we discovered that they have a baby, an owlet.

Andre took a picture from afar, but it is difficult to see it in a photograph and we thought a flash may disturb them too much if we tried to get closer. This is a picture of a screech owl--not ours, but he looks very similar.

The little baby owl would stand on the edge of the hollow and peek out. He is so incredibly cute.

Update: There are two babies!

Still so jealous.

All I have are Texas Squirrels that drive Blu into a psychotic frenzy EVERY DANG TIME he sees them.

And you get owls. So unfair.
