Let’s check your powers of observation! These two photographs were taken seconds apart yesterday evening shortly before sunset. There is a subtle difference. Same juvenile owl … near Lake Superior in Duluth. You may need to maximize the images. I will admit it took me a while to figure out the difference, but I knew w/o knowing why the photos were different!
It has been fun to find my family of owls again after 2+ weeks of zero sightings. Over the past 3 days I have seen the juvenile Great Horned Owls many times. I suspect the parents are feeding them less and less. Thus, the owlets need to start hunting more on their own. I have even surprised one of the juveniles on the ground right at sunrise yesterday morning.
The light was changing quickly as the sun was going down. Well done, folks!
The owl’s pupils are larger in the lower photo. Was he trying to get a better look at you?
I see!
Jane: You are correct, but that is a difference of a mechanical nature. This is a difference in the owl itself!
Bottom picture larger/closer?
Stay safe up there, away from the fires….
