Nesting Owls

Last Friday, I spent the morning photographing an active Great Horned Owl nest. If you caught my images last year, this is the same nest as I photographed last spring. The only exception is that this year, there are two owlets instead of one! Twice as much fun for me! Here are a few of my favorite images I captured:

I’m planning on returning to the nest later this week. As the two youngsters get older, I’m sure they will be more active and, of course, require more food from mama!

  • Canon EF 500mm, f/4 IS lens
  • Bogen 3221 tripod and Wemberly gimbal head
