Baby Great Horned Owl

Which explains why I've been seeing the adult in the same tree for the past week or more!

Oh my gosh - how fun to watch grow! That's just a bundle of feathers. What super detail in the color and all. Love the one eye peeking out.

[Rob Crosby]

Thanks, Milanie! Above its head and to the left of tree trunk you can see some of mom's feathers!

How cool is that better keep a close eye on it. It will be grown and gone before you know it. Great shot Rob.

Now that is just plain cute.

[Rosie White-Hlouveraki]

So fluffy, great shot!

[Shirley Banford]

Amazing!

Amazing...it has been fed recently, judging from the red around it's mouth. Is it in a cavity nest?

[EvaHenriette]

awwww, this is amazing. Nicely captured.

Thanks for the kind comments. Lynn, nest is not a cavity, but sits in the crotch of the 2 large branches. I'll post another picture that shows more clearly that the red color is skin and not lunch! ;-)

How cool is that? Not sure how I missed this. Nice shot!
