For several years we've had ravens in the indoor arena, and they have had chicks. This year, however, some great horned owls moved in, taking over the ravens' nest to use as their own. Last week the owlets hatched, and we got some photos of them this morning.
We think this lighter colored one is the female, based on a google search for great horned owls and their colors.
We think this darker one is the male.
When we first walked into the arena the baby was hanging out at the edge of the nest, but as we got closer it tucked itself down into the net with its sibling.
As far as we could photograph, it looks like there are two owlets.
