I don't know why, but the site won't let me add another photo to the old owlet site. So, here's the latest:

These are the two males. I don't know how many of the 5 are still around, but yesterday a male and female shared the bowl.... which is about 16" across. They seem to like to sit in that bowl full of damp soil in the shade during the heat of the day. I suppose it's cooler. Since they haven't grown at all since fledging I've decided they are probably California Screech Owls. They are molting now and look a little ruffled. They seem to know DH and I and don't fly away when we walk past, and seem to be most curious about the things we do. They were especially interested in the play of grandsons when they last visited and watched from a high perch.

Since I last tried to post the two left and another two took their place; one is significantly larger than the other. I'm wondering if this might be Mom with the smallest of the 5 --- or a new one.

Anyway, I'll try to post the photo again:
