Great Horned Owl (Female)

Bradenton, Florida

Visited Robinson Preserve; This is the 'mother' of the owlet (see two 'previous' images) I managed a few good long distance shots of as she was higher up and well hidden in the branches of a long needled pine.
We were told this owlet hatched on/about 9 January and both parents (couldn't get a lens on the male) stayed hidden higher in the surrounding pine trees.
Best viewed in 'original' size.
