This is a rather long story, but I'll keep it as brief as possible. Thanks to a gentleman who discovered this nest with one parent and two young Great Horned Owls on his property for contacting a photographer who in turn contacted Grace Scalzo, who was just a bit to far, so she called Bill Dix who ultimately called me, Thanks very much, Bill. How great is our network of photographers. Bill, his wife and I drove there to meet the gentleman and subsequently were able to get some images of the youngsters. The parent did not show up. The twigs in the left owls face were unavoidable. This is a lifer for me. C&C welcome.
