Sleeping owl, working woodpecker with hungry young to feed. The Great Horned Owl was snoozing in Sutro Heights Park near where we used to live in San Francisco. That photo is by Tom Kuhn. The working woody was at the nest site along Hyatt Lake east of Ashland, Oregon, and that photo was by Marty Karlin. Enjoy.
BTW–the owls nested in Sutro Heights Park this year, Tom has gotten fine photos of the owlets now nearly fully feathered. Click here to see those images.
