The Joker
This little owlet was quite animated on a March afternoon. Photographing these birds usually involves watching them with their eyes closed and/or backs turned for extended periods. Suddenly they pop into action for a few minutes, wide-eyed and energetic. When they do, you hope you are paying attention and in position. Sometimes I was, sometimes I wasn't. This was my last visit before the owlets started to branch. Great-horned owlet at Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas - 3/2023.
It's probably time to back away from owl pics for awhile :)
