It was nice to come across a pair of nesting Great Horned Owls late morning. The female was on the nest while the male was perched high in a spruce tree about 100 feet away. First nesting pair of the year for me. It was a beautiful day, almost felt like spring. Temps around 40, started out with a little sun but clouded over around noon, low winds.

Beautiful photos! How do you tell the male from the female?
Sweet photos Jim. We had our Red Morph Screech Owl today, so all is good.
Gorgeous male!
The male stays off a distance .
The female is on the nest. I think they both hunt. Beautiful photos.
Wonderful Jim! Love the snow in the tree too!
lovely, another perfect job!
Great photos, Jim!
