Observation details
At least one adult and 3 young. The adult caught an immature American Robin, plucked some feathers, then flew to a branch in a spruce near the 3 young. All 3 went to the adult begging. The adult fed pieces to the young. The oldest of the 3 moved around from branch to branch and at one point appeared to be trying to take the robin. The adult seemed unfazed. Eventually the adult gave the lower portion of the robin to one of the younger owls which moved away and swallowed it. Most of my photos of the adult feeding the young are not sharp. At 10:00 pm an adult delivered a vole to to one of the young while another adult was in a nearby meadow.
