Moms are well-known for their willingness to sacrifice for their little ones and this owl was no different. As a steady rain fell yesterday morning and little room in the nest for her two owlets and herself, she let them have the relative shelter of the family home while keeping watch from a nearby trash pile. This nest is along a pretty busy roadway so in some ways I can’t blame her – it is undoubtedly quieter, and she got a much-needed break from needy youngsters.
