Hanging out, flying around
These two Great horned owls flew between various perches among the strip of trees I found them in east of High River. I watched them for two hours as the morning’s overcast sky brightened. They were unsettled by ravens a couple of times but mostly seemed to be resting while keeping eyes on the fields they looked over. When they did fly it was worth the wait.

They’re amazing Christopher – the middle shot really surprised me because I didn’t notice the second owl until I scrolled back again – that was a real wow moment. Such beautiful creatures.
