Afternoon nap with Mom

An old photo from my archives that I always thought was rather cute. This is Mom Great Horned Owl and one of her two owlets, at Burnsmead, Fish Creek Park, taken on 16th June 2009. Though they look as though they were almost at my eye level and quite close, they were in fact extremely high up in a very tall tree - thank you, zoom! Mom's face feathers are stained from the blood of the various prey that had been caught to feed her two hungry youngsters.

Watching Mom preen

Two of the three Great Horned Owlets from Fish Creek Park, huddled up on a very high branch with Mom. I know they look just above eye-level and close, thanks to 18x zoom plus cropping, but they really were near the top of a very tall tree in the park! The third and youngest owlet was in a nearby tree, alone. Taken 12th May - haven't managed to get over to see them recently.
