No, they were Owlets - I watched them play all summer! They took turns rolling on the ground, jumping on one another, having surprise attacks. They were so fun to watch! This family had 8 Owlets and the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife banded all of them. They also wanted to band the parents but many people objected to that interference. When I went back to the burrow some weeks ago, I saw that the parents have indeed been banded, so once the "kids" are fully grown, it will be difficult to tell them apart.
