Today I was exercising the dogs about 6:45 pm, and noticed a lump of light color in a large tree. I stopped the car, got my camera, and zoomed in on these two Great Horned Owls, sitting in a large oak tree. The sun was shinning on them and I thought they must be getting a sun bath just before dark and the cold night.

You did well to spot them. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have never seen an owl in a natural setting. Isn't that incredible?!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I'm glad you finally got to see your owls, AND had your camera with you when you found them. Now that you know where they are roosting, I'll bet we see more of them. :)
ReplyDeleteThey look so fluffy, but I can just imagine those huge feet grasping a critter and holding on tight back to their feeding area. I hope you get more pictures to post.
What a lucky find. They sure blend in with their surroundings don't they? They were looking at you like we are sleeping, please move right along. :))
