The kiss / Le baiser - a photo on Flickriver

The kiss / Le baiser

            Cette journée fut ma dernière observation de la nichée des Petits ducs maculé. Un moment émouvant car je savais que je ne les reverrais plus jamais et je m'y était beaucoup attachée. Maman Charlotte était dans le même arbre et venait de temps à autre lisser leur plumage et leur donner des bisous. Le cinquième bébé était seul dans l'arbre d'à côté. Le lendemain ils étaient tous déjà plus loin, plus haut, difficilement visibles. J'ai vécu des moments extraordinaires avec ces adorables boules de plumes. Grand merci à Charlotte, la maman, Édouard V, le papa et les cinq petits de la fratrie. Longue vie aux Petits ducs maculé!

This was the last day I was observing the Owlet's family. A moving moment since I knew I would never see them again and I really got to love them and appreciate observing their way of living. Mommy Charlotte was in the same tree coming from time to time to preen their feathers and give them kisses. The other owlet (a family of 5) was perching alone in a tree besides this one. The day after all the family was already further away, higher, barely visible. I experienced touching and memorable moments with this adorable family. Thank you so much to Charlotte, the mother, Édouard V, the father, and the five most adorable owlets. Long life to all of them!
