Sorry to disappoint you if you were thinking this was a collection of flashy photos of Minnesotans seeking relief from winter weather in Arizona or Florida.

The owlet appears to be going through a major growth spurt – compare last weeks photo (April 25) versus this most recent one taken last Thursday evening (May 3).

I’ve yet to see much interaction between the female and the owlet as far as feeding – perhaps that’s more of a nighttime activity.
