Well today both of the pair of owls showed up at dawn! She wanted to go fishing, but first they had to snuggle 🤗
After a bit he migrated to the dogwood tree and she went hunting for some goldies in the lotus tub. Ever heard anyone training an owl??? Apparently they are easy to train LOL
Top photo he's on the left, bottom photo she's on the left

Today was bath day for one of the owls. She hunted for a while in the grass and then gave up trying to catch bullfrogs and just dove in. She was standing on an aquablock just beneath the water. Sweet girl, she was here almost 30 minutes today. 🦉
Here's a video link:

The 5th (presumably the one you didn't find) is:

behind the left side of the left water lettuce, with legs in the water and upper body/head below a piece of flagstone. I knew it was there when i took the pic and it still took me a solid minute to find it
