Hootie & The Blowfish

Introducing : Hootie and the Blowfish!!


Ok .... so sorry. I know this is a terrible photo. Kevin and I are trying to figure out how to get better pictures of these guys .... but it's hard! At our new condo .... we have a family of owls. Mamma, Papa and two babies. We named them "Hootie & The Blowfish." ( Yeah, I know. We are real clever). When we first moved in .... we kept hearing this random screeching at night. We thought it might have been an alarm on the back of the Kohl's building, but Kevin one night noticed something sticking out of a vent. With the use of the flashlight, we were able to see our new friends :)
Above is a picture of the Mom sticking out of their home. There are two holes like this in the building, and the babies live in one and then the parents use the other one as their look-out for food. Every night, we love to listen to the little guys call for food, and then the parents show up and swoop around .... making the little ones happy and proud. So far they have been good with us taking their photos .... if only we could get them to come a little closer ....
