“Shhh! There’s that guy with the camera again!” This Great Horned Owl owlet and its siblings were intent on making finding them quite difficult once they fledged. Took me a number of passes through a stand of cottonwood trees near their nest for me to find them as they do a pretty darned good job hiding. It was a lot of fun to watch them grow up and leave the nest. Hopefully mom and dad will be back next spring. Taken May 18, 2014 in Thornton, Colorado.
