One of two young owlets looking curious.
For the last 20 years there have been efforts to protect the CSO under the endangered species act ... only to be continually denied by USFWS. Another review with a decision is due in 2019.
After following this family for several years a fire ravaged their nesting area last year. Sad not being able to follow them this year so I pulled a couple un-posted shots from the archives.
