Yesterday I told you how we discovered this nesting Great Horned Owl. This morning, I returned with the great morning light in a completely clear sky, and the "big gun": my 1280mm stabilized telephoto lens and tripod. The picture at right is one of the resulting pictures; I'm quite pleased with it.

Follow-up on the baby that was kicked out: the raptor rescue folks arrived (a little grumpy, 'cause they took a wrong turn and ended up 25 miles or so in the wrong direction!) and picked up our little lost owl. This morning they called us up to let us know that the little guy is doing fine — especially after eating five mice! Once he's fledged and has learned to hunt and eat on his own, they're planning to release him right where they picked him up, on our friends place...
