the cutest thing EVER

One of the nature centers has a live web cam of a nest of BABY BARN OWLS!

They are all so adorable and very noisy and carnivorous!
The parents feed them several times a night!

I am mesmerized.
More about Barn Owls.

I spot a barn owl about once or twice a year while driving at night, usually in south county.
I once saw a great horned owl while working late at night at a friend's community theater which is located in a tiny city park surrounded by huge pine trees. It swooped down to get a mouse that ran across the outdoor stage. I had no idea those even existed around here!

This is a really good year, lots of rain.
