The GHO-Mom is a real beauty.

When I opened the cam again a bit later, at about 16:00 h nest time, the female was busy with feeding the older owlet (with a bird).
Here she makes a short break ...



... and continued feeding the older one. But later also the younger owlet got its share.

Still feeding ...


So cute ...


Feeding is finished. Baby risks a look outwards.

Non-stop-events this evening ...

Zoom


The female has left the nest for a short time.


To melt away ...


But there's a great difference in their size.

Owlets are very well protected agains wind and rain by mom. They stay safe, dry and warm under her.

Both owlets are fine. They can eat big pieces of prey now. Owlets are white still, only their beaks became black.

It was bad night for owl: strong wind then heavy rain, no chance for hunting. Mom left the nest few times, but brought no prey.
In the morning the nest tree was visited by an intruder, mom and owlets performed a lot of beak-clacking - video by scyllabub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa5Mx2eCuxQ
The only thing mom can do in this awfull weather is to protect owlets.

Finaly I saw her (it's female), she is so beautiful.

Snowy owls breed in Alaska or Canada in June or July. This osprey's nest seems to be her hunting place. During winter snowy owls migrate to south.

Yesterday evening there was nothing to eat in the nest. Mom flew away at 6:19 pm and till 7:11 she didn't return. It was very windy and I worried that owlets could be blown away.



But later mom brought a big prey (video by scyllabub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fko7ieixlP4 ).
In the morning mom flew away at 6:20 am and shortly returned with a bird.



Owlets were very excited and nibbled mom's tail.

So thankfully today pantry is full.
