Two extremely fluffy owlets sitting side by side, both staring intently in the same direction. They’re in a nest of brown leaves stuffed in the branches of an old oak tree.
Here’s my contribution to today’s #BirdOfTheDay #juveniles theme, a pair of fluffy #GreatHorned owlets checking out their world. #birds

Great Horned Owl, just waking up for the evening. Giving me the "WTF you looking at?" look. Not an easy shot, 90' above ground and probably 60 yards away. This was the most open view I could find.

I wish the little screech owl I heard from the front porch last night would come out of the tree across the way and make itself visible so I can take a photo. Here's a different species of owl, the Great Horned Owl from the archives.
