Owlets Have Hatched!

As Terry predicted, the eggs started to hatch last night. So far three of the eggs have hatched, which is a local record for simultaneous emergence. This may be the result of the female owl having left the first eggs on their own during the early days.

Three owlets sprawled on their siblings’ eggs. 4/22/25.

At the moment, the owlets look like fuzzy blobs, but in the video you can see three sets of wiggly heads, bodies, and wings.

Let’s hope for the other two to hatch successfully in the next few days.
