We set out hiking this morning but stumbled upon a family of great horned owls. A juvenile and an adult were perched half way up a sheer rock cliff. After shooting a couple of photos with the old landscape camera, we were ready to make a mad dash for the bird photo equipment when a falcon appeared and dove at the pair while chattering loudly. The juvenile retreated into a cave and the adult assumed a defensive posture. Although it’s frustrating to miss an opportunity for unique photos, it’s a blessing to see nature at work.
