Great Horned Owl Up Late photo by Larry Jordan
This Great Horned Owl mother has been up all night feeding her chicks but she came out into the sunlight for a photo op. Notice how her brows shield her sensitive eyes from the light of the morning sun. Take a look at her three chicks who all fledged about two weeks after this shot. Then so see the other great Skywatch Friday posts!

Beautiful photo of a beautiful bird. Love the feather detail and the colour of the sky. It’s raining here and too grey for photography.
Again, your photos are just wonderful. One of the things I miss about living in the country are the hoot of the owls at night.
Excellent shot Larry. Very good sharpness and I love the angle of the picture.
