Face to face


I hope nobody wants to talk photography today… ;-) This heavily cropped photo is just here to show you the little owlet, that I had the pleasure to see face to face this week for the first time. We had a couple windy days and most of the time the young Great Horned Owl stays low in the nest and only the upper part of its head is visible. It looks like the parents feed it well, at least they are not much at the nest. I have seen the mother flying over into the reeds along the river a couple times. With other words, their food source is really not far from the nest.
