Great Horned Owl Chicks!

I am a proud God Poppa! Great Horned Owl chicks! This is the second year in a row I have had the pleasure of watching this owl family. I have been visiting the nest almost daily since early February. Learn more about Great Horned Owl nesting habits. (via Cornell University)
 
At least two Great Horned Owl chicks have hatched … most likely over one week ago, but the owlettes are just becoming big enough to venture out from under “Mom” and give me a brief view. Mom still appears to be incubating / warming, thus a third chick may be present. The owls hatch on different days … sometimes with a few days in between … thus the size difference between the two birds.
