Yeah, this guy didn’t look too happy although I am not sure if it was the weather that made him mad or the photographer that was taking his picture.

This handsome fellow and his bride have made their home in a spot at a pretty popular area. The nest they use seems to alternate between the red-tailed hawks that built it and these owls. She has been sitting on the nest for more than a week and he, of course, is lingering nearby, tending to his bride’s needs.

Unlike in previous years, he has made himself available for pictures a few times lately including this time last Saturday during a snowfall. He initially was well-hidden to the right, outside the frame, but opted to walk up the branch drawing my attention and allowing me to see him.
