This morning we decided to go to the club house and enjoy a high calorie cinnamon role. We don't do this often so it is a treat when we can enjoy something like this. While visiting with some of the staff, they told us about the owl on the park that was setting on her eggs, and about another owl on the other side of the river that had already hatched out a couple of chicks,
This seemed like a good adventure for the day. One of the staff took us up to show us the palm tree that the nest was in, and if you didn't know it was there, you never would have found it. The mother wasn't really showing her self, so we decided that we would come back later in the evening.
We then headed across the river and North about 5 miles to another RV Park, and the nice young lady in the store showed us where we could see the new chicks. I had to really get up on a picnic table to get a good picture. Meanwhile, the mother was parched on a tree about 40 feet away just watching us not seeming too concerned about all the commotion. I guess that this is an annual affair for here and she is used to people watching her.
Later in the evening we returned to the first location and now the mother had her head up so that you could see her. The best pictures of the day though were of the chicks with the 500 MM lens
After supper we returned to the club house to learn a new card game.
