We're proud to show you the photos of our two Grand-owlets! Opal, our first, is the darker of the two and the one I reported first. (Understand that we really don't KNOW the sex of either of these darlings. I like the idea of an older sister, rather than an older brother. It's one of those "Been there - done that" kind of things!) Her photo will be first. Oscar, her brother, is the second one photographed by Ivan. (I shudder to think what a photo taken by me would look like!) I was flabbergasted to realize that there are two of them, perched about 2 feet apart on different branches.
I have to tell you that, to the naked eye, these two birds actually LOOK like baby birds. In the photos, they look like adults! With the unaided eye (namely, mine) they look white and have a very scruffy appearance. When I saw Ivan's first photo, I said, "That's Olive. Where's Opal?" Anyway, meet Opal and Oscar. Charming beyond expectation!
