Hungry Day

Even though Ward made three food deliveries last night, June was down to a few mouse parts by dawn and has been whining all day. She is seen here with Rufus just after the food ran out at noon today. Rufus and Emily are confined under one wing while Seymour is protected under the other. Seymour is too small to compete with the older owlets and needs special attention to survive. His peeping is growing stronger and he appears to be getting enough food for now. While owlets can get along with occasional food shortages,  Ward will have to step up his efforts to satisfy this big hungry family.
