As promised a few owl pics taken over the winter

A local barn owl

These long eared owls were at a winter roost and very very difficult to see

So great pictures, robbo! In addition to the wonderful owls they are filled with air and light!

The first picture is a dramatic and very impressive in a different way.

Mom has been active with the nest cup today, maybe the first egg is laid now?

Egg rolling?

Or is she just playing with us?
