Close-up of Owl Chick and Intruder Flyby | 3.5.24

Friends of Blackwater NWR

We got a nice closeup of our little owlet. We can see the closed eyes (the chicks are blind at birth), and we could also make out the tiny egg tooth on the tip of its beak they use this to break free of the egg. We think we see a tiny hole in the remaining egg. Also, an intruder flew by the nest and spooked the female. We tried to ID the bird, but we're not sure what it was. The female gave a great openwing display as you see in the video.
