Title: The neighbors' kids

Midland and Odessa, the great horned owl couple who live across the park, have fledglings.

A few nights ago, I noticed the owls flitting around in the trees, but I thought I saw three  or four of them.

Now I know why.  Three little ones.  This is Odessa with one of the fledglings.   She doesn't seem pleased that I'm taking pictures.   For the first time, I was a bit uneasy around them.   They don't hesitate to attack people if they think their young are in danger.

At times like this, the wonder of His creation quite overwhelms me.
