The mother Barred Owl wasn't very far from the nest. It kind of looks like she has one eye opened and watching. The interesting thing was after photographing her and the baby she and the dad starting hooting back and forth. If I heard everything correctly, she wanted take out for dinner and he was wanting a fresh kill for dinner. Not sure who won the argument.
