Description
"Great Horned Owls - Nesting Texture" by Patti Deters. These two young Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus) were eager to leave the nest but haven't quite found the courage. Sometimes called tiger owls or hoot owls, you can tell these juvenile raptors are very close to fledging because they barely fit in their nest anymore! These twins were very well camouflaged in the tree branches, taking on the color of the nest of stick and surrounding tree growth. I've added some textures and blended out some of the branches to help see these little cuties better.
