Over the past few days an amazing amount of rain has fallen. Today we are experiencing 30 mph winds with 50 mph gusts off Lake Superior. The Great Horned Owlets are NOT happy with the weather, nor are their parents (or me for that matter). Here are a few images … in the final photograph you can even see rain drops dripping off the owl! Most of these photos were taken two days ago when the owlets were 37 days old (guestimate … oldest owlet is 5 to 7 days older than the younger bird). It is still raining this afternoon … Monday the 29th. I did visit the owls this morning a bit after sunrise. Other than being super wet, they are fine.

Heavy rain leads to bad hair days! 🙂
Thanks, awesome photos, per usual.
They’re getting really big. Still cute as ever.
i was thinking of them last night with the winds and rain. and it’s still here. hope they can warm up and dry off.
