The angel owl

The angel owl
There is just something about Owls and the way they capture your heart : ) You want to encourage them and protect them at the same time. A few of us were treated to this beautiful sight, and more, when both Great Horned Owlets flapped, clawed and climbed their way to the top edge of their nesting cavity. As if that wasn't enough, we even watched as Mom flew to where they were and fed them a Northern Flicker for supper - oops, looks like it was maybe a Blue-winged Teal after all. We had kind of wished that it was a Starling instead, but everything has to eat : ) Took lots of photos, so hope you don't get bored to death. I do try and space them out to give you a break from owls, owls and more owls. The light was not good and unfortunately, my camera doesn't sem to like being pointed up towards the sky, but I am just thankful for any photo that comes out sufficently well. On top of seeing the owls, it was so good to bump into a few friends, too : )
