On my latest visit to my local great horned owl nest on Sunday, mama was hunkered down out of sight in the tree cavity. Dad, however, proved to be a more willing photo subject, opting to hang out in a relatively easy spot to photograph. He was quite safe and secure, high in the tree and gave me a nice glance. I loved the texture of the tree he was in and, of course, those blue Colorado skies.
