Baby owls are called "Owlets"

Her first clutch consisted of Max, Pattison, Austin and Wesley.  Max and Wesley turned out to be females. Austin a male. Pattison was 2 tone and gender was never officially determined.

The 2 owlets in this clutch are named:  Ashley (hatched August 6, 2010 at 3:20 am) and Carrie (hatched August 7, 2010 at 8:50 am)

I've been watching this owl family since February.

There is a blog that has all kinds of information and pictures.   For previous entries and tons and tons of pictures, click "previous" at the bottom of each page

Molly fans have been asking for all kinds of memorabilia and Carlos Royal (the land owner that has the owl box) started offering a coffee mug and it expanded into calendars and t-shirts and mouse pads because people were asking for them.

I've ordered a hard cover book of "Molly the Barn Owl" which is based on the first clutch.  A hard cover coffee table book of Carlos Royal's gorgeous photographs of the first clutch. And Carlos Royal's grandson Austin's "Molly Story DVD" which he did for a school project in order to raise money to go to college. Smart and enterprising young man!!!

I'm a complete addict!  LOL

Night vision should be kicking in in about 1 hour.  The male, McGee was coming around at approximately 8:30 pm PDT or so, but he's been coming later and later these days.  It's speculated that he's still helping and teaching the first clutch of 4 owlets (now owls) to hunt for themselves.

I'm posting there as "Linda B" :)

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
