Today for the first time a baby owl stuck its head out of the nest and greeted the world. What a surprise! I had no idea we had company.
This is without doubt the coolest thing that ever happened in my garden.
Mama kept an eye on me while I took the pictures. I understand now why she is always perched on top of the fan in my patio; it gives her a clear view of the nest and the entire garden.

Wow- that's awesome! I've never seen an owl outside of the zoo.
Mama would get pissed if someone turned that fan on!
What an exciting sight in your garden. You got a great, clear shot, as it stuck its fuzzy gray head out. If momma wasn't around to protect it, it looks like the baby's own beak could do some damage to an unsuspecting hand reaching into that hole. It will be fun to watch the baby develop in your own backyard.
Hi Rusty.....how blessed you are....this is just so beautiful.....
What I would do to be in this situation....enjoy every moment......
Rusty .. I missed you changing your header picture ! It is really pretty : )
I can't imagine having an owl in my garden .. it would be wonderful .. and to have baby there too ? You are so fortunate indeed .. owl hoots would make me too happy to believe : )
Fantastic to have owls in your garden and even more wonderful when they ara baby owls. How cute the little one is, all nice and fluffy. Enjoy your guests Rusty!
What an exciting experience to be having. Will be so interesting to watch the developements.
That is cool, Rusty. You are soooooo lucky!
How cute!
Owls are awesome birds. How wonderful for you to see the youngster.
Hi Rusty;
Great owl pictures! Obviously you have a comfortable place there even with Rosie and the cats and their friends roaming around. It's always amazing to me to watch an owl sitting there and when it decides to fly it just jumps up and is gone in milliseconds. I tried to get a barred owl picture the other night and only got a pile of snow in the time it took to click the button.
If you get a chance let your local Audubon members know about the new guest.

Oh my gosh, isn't the baby too cute! Congrats on becoming godparents(?) to the little Wol. They're just too outrageously cute. There's probably another one or two in the nest.
That is just the coolest thing! I would be ecstatic if I saw that in my garden. Good thing you got photos. I'd frame some of those.
