Deep in the woods at Fort Desoto, the trail was closed. It wasn’t hard to find.Walk until you find the “Do Not Enter” sign and the trees wrapped with orange tape cutting off the trail. Down the trail you can see them if you zoom in your camera. Two great horned owl babies sitting on top of a dead palm tree. On the morning I stopped by it was a little chilly. The first two pictures the babies were huddled together and sleepy. I headed out to the beach for a while and then stopped by quickly before I left. It had warmed up and the babies were awake and looking around. One of the parents was sitting high up in a tree near the nest and the babies kept looking up at it. They have such expressive faces. They weren’t doing anything but looking. By now they are all grown up and flying.
Definitely spring isn’t it…Gorgeous shots, anxious to see the owlets.
Oh they are so cute.
Quite an intense stare.
Wow! They are big fluffy Owls. I’m sure they look a lot nicer the older they get. Great pictures.
Beautiful shots of the baby owls ~ I think they know you are there ~
Happy Weekend to you,
