This is from the very sharp video I got of the owls a few weeks ago. Join Baby Snacks as she fluffs her feathers, blink her eyes and settle into sleep.
If you've been missing the owls it's a good day for you. I have another couple of minutes of footage from when the fledgling owl was here in my owl house.
In the hour long footage, many minutes are dedicated to scenes just like this.

I haven't seen Baby Snacks since around when this video was taken. Mr. Snacks, who I'm barely, maybe, potentially certain is actually a Mrs. Snacks has been in the owl house most days and nights since then. We'll refer to them as the grey owl to make things easier. The red owl has been here once or twice.
No baby though. As soon as it was ready, it flew the coop, never to return. But a few times a day I can hear her softly whiney from somewhere in the neighbourhood trees. When I hear it, I look straight up to the owl house because I know the grey parent is going to answer back immediately.
Which is awfully nice of them when you consider how the baby owl used a wrestling move to smash its parent down into the owl box in the last video.
What a sweet little creature. Loved the accompanying music. Thanks for sharing. I think I'll lie down now. Zzzzzz
The world needs a little calming down right now I think. ~ karen!
Awesome as always Karen. You are so lucky to have the chance to see it all unfold in your own yard. Hubby and I were out kayaking near Coldwater, ON. a few days ago and heard some Sandhill Cranes. We didn't know what the sound was but another kayaker later told us. She got to see them. Do you think the owls will stick around all winter?
I have no idea, but once they find a home they usually stick with it. ~ karen!
Im soo 😴 sleepy now. Great video. ❤️
I'm ready for a nap now. That was delightful. 💗
Oh my goodness! This made my day! Perfect! 💗💗💗💗💗
Wonderful video made perfect by the perfect music.
Gotta say - the lullaby music is a classy comforting addition.
The absolute best cuteness overload. Thanks for sharing your owls for our entertainment/educations. Gives me happy fuzzys.
Rock-a-bye Baby Snacks and well done on the cute video! Thank you for sharing and giving an update.
Thanks for sharing the owl pictures and videos. Never having been witness to the raising of young or any owls in a nest, this has been an enjoyable journey. I've listened many nights to the great horned owls hoot, seen my cat duck when we heard a barn owl screech as we walked across an open field, found owl pellets in the woods, had one almost swoop into my open truck window as I slowly drove along an old dirt country road, but never seen an owl in a nest.
Very enjoyable. A little emotional. Thank you.
Such big sleepy owl eyes! Great video. Have you posted about building an owl house? I want my own owl!
Cuteness overload!
I cleared my cookies and still can't see it :o( - Do you have another link to be able to see it? I LOVE owls! I have a screech owl that yells at me every night next to my office window hahaaha.
It's like watching the Olympics into the wee hours and just as you're about to doze off completely you hear a roar of the crowd and it's who won what, doing what, where?
It's owl-riffic. And I only nodded off twice during the vid in standard geezer fashion.
