A rare combination from years ago. Great horned owls don’t build their own nests; instead, they use a nest that another bird has previously built or a tree cavity. In this case, the owl used a great blue heron nest, and this baby was the last to fledge.
These are the types of shots where I do a bunch of checking before I post because I can hardly believe something is so spectacular. It’s a big part of the reason I like sharing these photos with you all every day. Despite all us pesky humans are up to, the animals are still out there doing all the wild and crazy stuff most of us would never get to see.
