20130423-1 809 SERIES- Great Horned Owls.jpg

Ottawa West

Two images of Mom and her babies, now about three weeks old.
Mom and Dad had been perched on guard for most of the morning in nearby trees when suddenly a bunch of Crows flew by the nest. Mom immediately sprung into action and stayed with the young for about 15 minutes before returning to her perch in an adjacent tree. The Crows wisely departed.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II

I imaging getting decent shot of the whole family, with everyone nicely posed and facing the camera like they are in the top shot, is quite difficult and rare. Nicely done.
