I have not done a good job checking my local owl nests lately as it has been ridiculously windy here on the Colorado Front Range and I just can’t deal with that stuff. Haha. Yesterday I did finally get by one of the nests and, sure enough, there was an owlet peering back at me (as well as mama).

Most likely there is more than one little one in there, hiding under mama. This isn’t a particularly good nest for photographs due to the distance and direction but it is still fun to see them.
