Thanks to Don1 for telling us about the Great Horned Owl chicks at Kapok Park in Clearwater. I finally made it there and got a few shots, although the owls were high in the tree, surrounded by leaves and Spanish moss.

Thanks much, Eric. He seemed to be talking to me, not sure of the message. Mama stayed well camouflaged and left us alone. Good luck on your search for baby owls.
