I am fortunate to live in an urban area with outstanding small pockets of habitat for wildlife.
These Owls are living in the center of Portland, Oregon in a small wetland area
adjacent to my Duck pond/ garden which has nesting Eagles, Beavers, Otters, etc.
The parents are year round residents. There are 3 juveniles this year.
They live in the geographical center of an urban area of a million people.
Finding the Owls in the woods in the early morning is as much fun as photographing them...
