Related: About this forumBaby owls and their mom
Here are a few pics of a local great horned owl family. The color shift between the pics is probably due to the changing light, or me not paying attention in post. I was pretty tired when I processed these.


Mom keeps a watchful eye out.

They don't like to come out during the day.

What's better than an owl? Baby Owls! I search for them here but have only seen one a few years ago. I do hear them often.

... although they can be a challenge to photograph. They only really come out when the lighting is terrible.
