Tuesday evening with the Owls

We are having some very warm weather here in Colorado. Normally March is our snowiest month but that has not been the case. We've had temps in the 70's for a couple of weeks, so seems spring is here:)
So when I went to see the owls last night, I had a light jacket on instead of a heavy jacket, a 
hat and gloves. The owls seemed to be enjoying the weather too. When I arrived, a man had his spotting scope fixed on Sonny. I walked up and said hello. Then I aimed the camera at Sonny to get a pic. Sonny opened one eye and the man said " wow, he opened his eye for you". I just smiled and said " yes, we're old friends". I hung out enjoying Sonny's beauty as he stretched and got ready for a busy evening. I decided to go say hi to Cher, who was in the nest. Just as I got over there, she flew out and landed in her favorite tree. She groomed and stretched for a bit. 
She must get pretty stiff and sore sitting in that nest 24/7.
After she stretched, she flew back near the nest. Then Sonny arrived and they chatted for a minute. Cher flew back into the nest and Sonny headed across the lake. I imagine Cher put her order in for a yummy dinner :)
We were hungry too, so we headed home to have our dinner......
