Mom Great Horned Owl Trying to Cool Off!

Hadn't been able to find Mom and the children, but went down today and got lucky. First I heard several Blue Jays making their noise and rushed over to where that was coming from. And sure enough, they were attacking mom. She stayed up in that tree for quite a while, while being buzzed and poked by the jays, before finally flying to another tree and tried to get further tucked in. The Jays finally went on about their business and mom took a few minutes to cool down.
Wonder why the jays are so aggressive towards the owls - just their thing, I guess. But it sure helps to know where the action is!

At least you know their sound and are able to find the Owls, great shot.

Without the ruckus the Jays caused you might not have seen her. Beautiful details and intensity in her facial expression.
