Keeping watch on a nest with four rambunctious little ones is not an easy job and requires constant vigilance. This female seemed to have a good handle on the task however. While the owlets are now old enough that she feels comfortable going to a different tree than the one with the nest, she never strays far and those blazing yellow eyes are constantly on watch. She is seen here closely watching something near the nest that had grabbed her attention. Taken in Commerce City, Colorado.
