| Remnants of the Hayman Fire burn area |
 |
| Approaching dusk. |
 |
| It rained before our arrival. |
 |
| Dr. Brian Linkhart at one of his study trees setting up a net for the mother. |
 |
| Mountain Chickadees and Red-naped Sapsuckers also had nest cavities in the same tree as the owls. |
 |
| The mother comes out of the hole into the net. |
 |
| He removes it from the net carefully. |
 |
| Mom gets a little examination. |
 |
| He goes to retrieve the nestlings aged about 17-19 days. |
 |
| The nestlings also get a quick check-up and their data are recorded. |
 |
| Time to put back the nestlings. |
 |
| And time for mom to go, too - soon it will time for dad to start bringing in food. |
