We're back

Our blog has been pretty silent, lately, mainly due to demands of being political activists. Both of us were elected last weekend as delegates to the Texas Democratic Convention representing both our neighborhood and Barack Obama.

But in Owl land, things continue in blissful ignorance of all the politics. Mrs. Owl has been getting regular feedings, largely of katydids and other insects. She still takes short dusk and dawn breaks (usually 2 breaks at dusk, and 2 at dawn), and sometimes comes back wet from them. I don't know where she bathes, but it is likely either in our backyard pond (which used to be a swimming pool) or the 1 acre pond 2 doors down. She often preens her feathers when she returns from a break, especially if she has been bathing. Then she settles back on the eggs for more incubation.

We hope to post updates a bit more regularly. But until the eggs hatch, it is pretty much the same thing every day, unless something interesting is brought in, like a bird.
