FuzzBall and Junior are doing fine, and hunting the Thimbleberry Patch! I had a fun time yesterday afternoon in the fog and light drizzle visiting the juvenile owls. I found the pair rather quickly when one of the first trees I checked had all kinds of white wash underneath it … extremely fresh! After first eating a few thimbleberries, I walked 50 yards away from the white pine, turned and took these photographs. Quite frankly the two young Great Gray Owls did not look happy with the weather. From my vantage point I thought being near Lake Superior was fantastic. 180 miles to the south at my daughter’s house in Plymouth, Minnesota the temperature was 98F and very humid. Hearing this really made me appreciate my 66F with strong winds of the big lake.
