For the past month we’ve been experiencing a dry spell here in northern Minnesota. When precipitation came down, it was snow. Thus, my owlets had not really experienced a cold downpour. As long as snow is not wet, the birds can shake off the white stuff. That ended early this morning starting around 4 am. When the rain ended at 8:30 am, I hiked over to the nest area. The chicks did not look happy!
