Little Great Horned Owl Owlet makes its first appearance

Well, lookie there! The first little fluff head of the season that I have seen. This is a new nest this year, not too far from my home.

I stopped by yesterday, mainly just expecting to see Mom laying down, and was pleasantly surprised to see a bobblehead in there with her. I thought I saw a second owlet briefly but never got a pic of it and it might have just been the butt of the first one. 😉

The nest is WAY up high and in a thick stand of trees so visibility is really limited. Hopefully I will be able to get a better look when they get bigger.
