p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · GHO Peek-A-Boo & Siblings


One of the Great Horned Owl Nests I visit here. Was sneaking in the back side and got the Peek-A-Boo look out of a rotting hole in the tree. Came around the front and waited four and a half hours to get the Siblings shot. Never up at the same time or eyes open in time. One Owlet has mouth open from panting because it was in full sun all the time. In the first shot if you notice the poo running down the tree or white wash as we call it here, is how I locate nests from a distance. Owls poo over the side, where as Eagles use it for glue with bones and hides to hold the nest together. Thanks for looking at my meager captures.........

Great photos-I would love to find something like that to capture. Is it normal for them to be awake during the full sun exposure like that?

Great shots. I would love to find an owl nest. Now I know to look for white-washed trees. My search begins...

The first is fun and the second quite good. Go back if you can, it's fun watching them grow up

You showed great patience and it paid off very well. I'd love this type of opportunity, my choice of the two is of the siblings!

Thank you very much for commenting. They were pretty warm so I think they couldn't nap. Plus they seem to eat all the time when they get that big.

Great nest site. You really do want to capture the adults with the young. How about a flash at night during feeding forays to the nest?!!
