Back to the Great Horned Nest

Went to check out the Great Horned Owl again, through the branches I was able to pinpoint some eyes peering out at me. My camera is doing strange things but I was lucky to get a few decent shots. Realize though that this nest is high up in a very tall tree and its hidden so well. These photos are highly cropped of the young one.

First off I spot one of the parents poised, scanning for quarry. It is so amazing that when they fly their wings make no sound. I have heard when they buzz your head that all you feel is a rush of air. Supreme stealthy hunters of the air.

Next I scan for the nest and am gifted with this sweet fuzzy thing peering out at me.

And best of all this capture made my evening.
