Growing Boys

Wally and Theodore get bigger and stronger every day. Wally is seen here taking food out of June's mouth as she turns her head sideways to meet him. Even though his face is tiny and his eyes are not yet open, his beak is almost as big as his mother's. June will continue to brood him for at least another week. He and Theodore are always loud and hungry. There has been no sign of hatching in the third egg and it's beginning to look like there will just be the two owlets. It has been six days since Theodore hatched and there were only three days between the laying of the second and third eggs. Ward had a much better night last night with four food deliveries starting at 10pm. They had some catching up to do so that there is now only one mouse and part of a squirrel to get them through the day. Ward just called home with a classic hoot and June rocked the house with her response. (12:15pm)
