Hanging out with Mom

Lots of new mothers in the wildlife kingdom this spring and they will be spending their Mother’s Day with their new arrivals. This cute young owlet was spending a cool, dreary morning with its mom yesterday at Cherry Creek State Park in Colorado.

Unlike most Great Horned Owl nests where there are two, three and sometimes four little ones, this one is an only child but that just mean that mama has that much more time to devote to it.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s – wildlife and human!
