Onemore Owl Pic
One more picture of the owlet. I was fortunate that the owlet seems to be locking its eyes on me. So I am getting a bit of expression from the sleepy little owlet. I am a fan of a 1:1 aspect ratio images and that was my choice for the crop on his image. Great Horned Owls around Green Valley seem to often build their nest in areas with a lot of human activity. I wonder of that's a strategy where they are ok with the people being around in exchange for having predators shy away? Just the same I kept my time around the nest brief and used a long lens. Right after this shot the little owlet settled down for a nap. So I don't think I was stressing the bird. Plus the male was watching my every move.
