I had a brief but rewarding encounter with a juvenile great horned owl recently. The side lighting and soft greenery framed this little fuzzball perfectly...

A female great horned owl shares a snowshoe hare with her offspring. This was taken shortly before the juvenile began flying. I observed them sharing a red squirrel high in a cottonwood tree a few days later but since junior is airborne they seem to have moved to new hunting grounds.
Have a great Monday out there and thank you for following along!

When you get to know your subjects as well as the light patterns in a particular area you can be in place for opportunities like this, which is certainly my best juvenile great horned owl image to date!
Have a great weekend out there. Be safe, be well, and thanks for following along!
