This little guy,
flies with his friend Katie Pnewski,

We have nesting barn owls in our owl boxes at The Holler.
Check out this frumpy little chick on his first day out of his nest, napping, and making a new friend!

Leslie
Hi Leslie! Wonderful to hear from you. Hope all is well with you. They are sweet creatures and wonderful neighbors! დ
Hi Cindy, I am well thank you. The children are a wonderful support for me. I now have time for my music and art. Peter was so unwell for quite some time and his care was my focus. There just wasn’t any time for me. Life does go on although I miss him very much.
Leslie
I am so sorry you went through this truly difficult time. Being the sole caretaker is so hard and then dealing with the loss and grief afterwards is a cruel reward. One can easily get lost in the whole stressful process. Finding time now for YOU is not easy either but so worth it. My thoughts and prayers are with you Leslie. Take extra good TLC of yourself now. It is your time. Cheers & love to you! დდ
Thank you Cindy, your kind thoughts and wishes are so much appreciated.
Leslie <3
Love to you Leslie.
So special!
Grazie mille Sandy დ
An angel face indeed, Cindy! How sweet!
I love owls, and living amongst them! დ
Such gorgeous photos Cindy
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Sheree! დ
Avec plaisir Cindy

Got to be a perch for a Mexican Horned Owl last November. I’ll not forget it.
Wow! That sounds like a major life thrill დ
Angel of Death (for wee little mouses, me thinks).
Yep. It’s a bird eat mouse world out here at The Holler! 😉
I think barn owl faces must count among the most attractive and angelic in the avian world.
Yes. I would agree. Winsome creatures დ
Fantastic pictures, Cindy. I love the details.
Thank you very much Pit დ
How expressive they are. Love these images and am smiling as I type these words.
Your wonderful comment just made me smile! დ
Valentine is so sweet and the other owl, a beauty…their faces make me smile, Cindy!
They are smile inducers aren’t they! 😉
Yes!
Another stunning capture of a beautiful creature, Cindy. 😍 Though, it will take some deep breaths before I stop focusing on how sharp that beak is, if I ever get close enough to one.
Thanks very much. Thankfully we aren’t on their menu plans!! 😉 😉
Such beauty! A gorgeously plumed bird. <3
They are stunners aren’t they! დ
Angel face indeed, Cindy! The first one looks so curious and Baby Valentine looks like it’s trying not to laugh! Happy Wednesday to you and the Happy Holler Hooters.
Yes Valentine, does seem highly amused (and bored) with his first experience of the world!! Smart birdie 😉
Wonderful photos! Love the close up details.
Thanks much & pleased you enjoyed! დ
The first owl is one beautiful bird! The chick is looking a bit the worse for wear for leaving the next.
Yes. He was cooped up in it for weeks, poor guy! დ
Ahh, the sweet taste of freedom!
He decided to nap while contemplating the new found taste….. 😉
These pictures are wonderful!! The heart face chick is too cute. Cindy, your close-up nature shots of our flying animals have so much detail and clarity.
So appreciate your thoughtful comments! Thank you very much & take good care დ
You’re welcome! Thanks to your photos I’m getting to see close ups of birds that I wouldn’t see. Take care and have a wonderful Wednesday. 🙂

Beautiful!
Thank you very much Andrew დ
You’re welcome.
დდ
they are so adorable, when we get sightings of an owl.. especially at this time of year.. the photographers come from all across the area. to try to get a picture.. what is the fascination with owls… i do admit they are really cute.
Lucky you! Owls are symbolic of mystery across multiple cultures. Plus they fly at night which adds to their mystery and makes them more rarely seen დ
Your photos show these lovely birds at their best.
So kind of you and so appreciated too! Thank you & cheers დ
Oh my gosh, how beautiful Cindy!!! 🦉🦉🦉
Thank you Kym. They are gorgeous little creatures დ
You’re very welcome Cindy! They are indeed amazing creatures. 😍🦉🥰

Amazing captures, Cindy. You are an owl whisperer!
I had the same thoughts! 😁
So appreciated Michele დ
I appreciate you! Splendid work.

Katie is a lot braver than me.
She is awesome and loves birds. It shows დ
Your photos amaze me, Cindy! Such beautiful creatures. 🤍
Aww…. Thank you very much Kymber & take good care my friend დ
Oh, how I love owls. They are such nobal (and wise 🙂 ) creatures. Beautiful images.
Yes they are. I love them too. I love living with them. I call back and forth with The Great Horned Owls regularly. One night, one swooped silently, so close above my head, my hair ruffled in his breeze. What a thrill! He could have hurt me, but he just made infinitesimally close contact, so skillfully. I was awed დ
Heartwarming. I love these. The picture of the newborn is amazing!
It is so much fun having them hatch, grow, and eventually come out to play! Thank you Sheila დ
Thank you, Cindy, for sharing those incredible faces!
Thank you more for appreciating them Michele & take good care დ
That baby owl is so lovely and vulnerable. Congrats on such good work supporting these great creatures 💕
Ahh, thank you very much Val for everything you do დ
💐🙏🏼💖

Yes! They wear their heart on their face. Love your new birdie babies. So sweet დ
Absolutely love the baby owl!!!
Ahhh…. So glad you do! I do too დ
So beautiful it takes my breath away!!!
You touch my heart Jill. Thank you დ
