Peek-a-boo

Taken in poor light, so not the best quality, but I thought it was very cute : ) This is the younger of the two Great Horned Owlets at Burnsmead. I've always thought of this smaller one as a "she", but am now thinking that maybe it is a "he", seeing as the females are larger than the males. Or else, it could be simply that this one is the runt of the family. I still think its left eye looks "wrong". It is the most adorable little thing and loves to take a good look at you. I called in briefly again late this afternoon, in light rain, but took this photo yesterday.
