This post is dedicated to “all the Moms” out there. We are experiencing a late season snowstorm up here in NE Minnesota. I still decided to hike over and visit my local Great Horned Owls. I was hoping to photograph a “drenched male”, but he decided the perch he is on over 90% of the time is horrible in this weather. He had retreated somewhere to a more protected location. Mom, however, has no choice but to stay on the nest.

All the dots on the image are snowflakes. The owlets may have been born, but no way they would be out in this weather.
