Owls
Looks like my local baby great horned owls are getting ready to fly one day soon, FYI.

Nice shot, Bill ! That looks like a pretty open nest for GHO! Have they been bothered by crows, jays, ravens,etc?

So cute!

Don, they don't seem to be troubled by anything (aside from a few pairs of binoculars!), one of the parents is always there and I at least wouldn't be brave enough!
I think they often use old redtailed hawk nests don't they?
