Stay-at-home Mom

Went to check on my usual Great Horned Owls this afternoon. This is Mom, sitting on her nest at the top of thi sold tree stump. If you look very closely, you can just see a tiny bit of pale grey fluff down and to the left of her (i.e. left hand side of photo). In another photo taken today, there is no fluff, and in fact I thought I saw it moving about. So, who knows if there is only one young one like last year or with a bit of luck, there will be more than one this time. I purposely left it a distant shot, to give an idea of her surroundings.
