These are not cropped or hardly cropped.
They are of 2 different Owls ( hopefully a breeding pair) that visit my house
a couple nights a week. I think Im going to build a nest box for them to live in.
I have a massive packrat nest right outside my backyard that I leave undisturbed so the
Owls can hopefully eat them.

The large branch this one is on is about 6" diameter.

It's the first one. The dark stripes on their foreheads are different enough that you can ID the two owls from those.

Nice work on these Owls. Good luck getting them to stay if you put a box up.

Gorgeous bird(s) and excellent captures of them Jeremy!
I think #2 looks like it's in a Halloween costume
Good luck with the housing project too.
