1. I swear

that second shot is worthy of National Geographic.
The rest are to me OK and with other visits like you said could be better. But not that second one. I adore it.
There's a story going on in that shot.

2. So ugly it's cute!

They are kind of ugly in a sweet sort of way. I agree the the second pic is terrific. The mom is a striking lady that's for sure.

5. Fabulous!

I give a HOOT about our owl friends.

Our barn owl has blessed us numerous times with a fly by.

6. Cool pics!

One of the few animals I've seen where the adult is cuter than the baby.

I had a chance to visit the ladybird center a couple years ago - cool place!

10. These are great!

Our resident Great Horned Owl is sitting on her nest and Papa keeps watch nearby. So it won't be long but I never get pictures like these.
