About This Image

baby Great Horned owl, high up in the nest in the cottonwood tree - looks like it's waving "hello", or showing off its foot and claws. In my copy, you can see how long and sharp the claws are, even at this age! The sun was setting in the West & shining on the trees as the owls sat there in the rays. It looked very pretty.

somehow thought I'd replied to your comments, Alex and Lorraine, - must've been getting confused with the other image, lol. Sorry about that, and many thanks for the nice comments.

thanks for the nice comments, Carol and Vicki. We really noticed how well camouflaged the babies are too, - they look just like the tree trunk :) Even their eyes seem to be a duller colour than the adult owls' eyes, for protection also, I guess.

Great image, Alandra. The tiny owl blends right into it's habitat. Vicki
