Great horned owls give the stink eye

Well, I do get this a lot from my photo subjects but owls really seem to have the look down more than any other type of wildlife. 😉 

After work Friday I stopped by to check on my favorite owl nest as it shouldn’t be long before we see owlets. None were seen on this day although mama definitely seemed to be sitting higher in the cavity so I suspect they may have hatched but just weren’t ready to show themselves yet.

Of course mom gave me her trademark glare that I have been on the receiving end of many times. It took some work but I did find dad right nearby and he gave me a squinty look, seeming to size me up. I think I give my kids’ friends similar looks.
