Little owl, big eyes

Check out this cutie! This is one of three owlets at my local great horned owl nest and the most independent of the trio. This one tends to hang out a bit away from the others, preferring some solitude. Here, it peers down at me, wide-eyed and clearly focused. Time is running short to see these guys. Soon they will depart and set off on lives of their own.
