Two Great Horned Owl owlets huddle together at the edge of their weathered nest stump, leaning shoulder to shoulder in the spring sunshine. One has nearly dozed off, while the other opens a single golden eye to check on the photographer. Their fluffy, barred down catches the light against a deep blue sky and pale cottonwood branches. It's a tender moment of two young owls just learning about the world, and for now, mostly napping through it.
