Some fun facts about owlets:
Q: Are they hungry? They look hungry..
Answer: Yes. Owlets are always hungry.. until they eat. Then they aren't hungry anymore. They may eat two treats before needing to "Hork" or cast a pellet, before they will eat again.
Q: Why are they calling? Are they hungry?
Answer: Yes and No. At least one owlet calls all the time, even after they are fed. As they get older, the call is incessant throughtout the night. Usually the youngest is the most vocal.
Q: Do Owlets share or fight over treats?
Answer: They do not share, intentionally. Owlets wait their turn. Owlets do not fight over food. They will hurt each other if they do. Sometimes a Shareabout happens unintentionally. We all rejoice when this happens.
Q: Why is Dale on such long flyabouts?
Answer: We believe she is a first time Mom. She spends longer times away from the box. When she does return, she takes care of the owlets. She is getting the owlets familiar to this behaviour. She will stay outside of the box all night when they can eat on their own.
Q: Do other barn owls stay out this long?
Answer: We believe she is a first time Mom. She spends longer times away from the box. When she does return, she takes care of the owlets. She is getting the owlets familiar to this behaviour. She will stay outside of the box all night when they can eat on their own.
Q: Do other barn owls stay out this long?
Answer: Not that we have seen here on Ustream. We just get a glimpse into a small window of each Barn Owl Clutch via a Host's cam. We learn more about Barn Owls each time. We are learning new Barn Owl Mom behaviour in the Pioneer Gang clutch.

Day 7 of KathyGoog's "GoogAbout" her travels with hubby across the US
Yellowstone Park
Day 7~As we enter Yellowstone's East gate at 9 am, the temp is 54*F! 2 minutes in, I could have opened car door & picked up SNOW from drift on shoulder of road! The first 20 miles of forest have been wiped out by a pine beetle, but the ground is covered with a carpet of wildflowers. The yellow, dark purple, white, magenta, blue, pink & lilac colored flowers cover the ground for 20 miles!
Thru the canyons of Yellowstone all I can hope is cliff rocks stay up where they are until we pass. In the rock formations, I ID'd a horse head, eagle head, complete standing Indian & one of those Easter Island heads. When we left by the West gate at 11 am it was up to 67*F.
Out of there, we drive into MT (our 14th state) & stop at Virginia City & Nevada City, 2 old west towns that were on his list of must see places. On the way to hotel, GPS takes us onto dirt roads, thru farmland, where two free ranging bulls decide they're going to charge our car with heads down, but we got away! Whew, it was close!!
Staying the night in Dillon, MT. AC not needed!!
