Description
A female Great horned Owl (Burbo virginianus) is guarding its barely visible nestling in a whole of a dead tree stump in downtown Portal, Arizona.
With its long, ear like tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics.

Congratulations on being named among ‘Dawn’s Delights’ this week. This image has that extra something special that makes it an extraordinary image. The title had me take a second look - and there he was, a cute little owlet peaking out of the nest!
