The trees have eyes

The trees have eyes
A pair of great horned owl owlets peer out from their nest at sunrise. (Tony’s Takes)

The golden light of sunrise on these two little great horned owls yesterday morning.

Last week I posted an image of this nest showing mama sitting in it and a very well-hidden owlet underneath her. The scene was quite different on my most recent visit.

Mama was perched beside the nest and inside were these two curious owlets. I am absolutely in love with this capture. Those beautiful yellow eyes peering out, half-hidden, make for a pretty neat shot.

The adult female was initially just off to the right but decided she didn’t want her picture taken and moved behind the trunk and out of sight.
