Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
3 new baby great horned owls!
A year ago today we saw 2 baby great horned owls in a tree here. I found out from ebirds.org that this year there are 3 babies in a tree not far from last year's location. This place is great for birds and all kinds of animals and provides a great location year round for all to see. I highly recommend it. Bring the family see the birds in the area, walk the boardwalk trail past twin barns it's on the straight away you will see 2 snags on the right side one has a nice hole where the babies are living. There's usually a group of people pointing and taking photos. They are all snuggled up together and times had their eyes all open. So fun to watch. It's all up to nature when they will be strong enough to fly off.
you can always count on good reflections here in the morning
the baby owl tree, you can barley see the 3 fuzzy heads
Getting ready for lunch
