Just want to say that this is only my 3rd visit to Brazos Bend State Park, but it is a place that I highly recommend to those visiting the Houston area because of the heavy concentration of wildlife that one can find in the park. I went strictly to do a walk around with the new equipment and because the winds that week were too high for canoeing and taking photos.
I did my walk around of the lakes first and then returned to Owl location later in the day. Sort of like dessert for me. After all this would be my first encounter with an Owl since I started taking photos in so very long ago. I should have made the visit when I first arrived because the light would have been better in morning. The area is roped and people are only allowed to get so close to the tree. This is the best I could manage of the two Owlets that were snuggled together in the tree. Mom was nearby, but someone had to point her out to me. I don’t think I would have ever found her. You’ll see her later. Not the best shots in the world, but this is indeed a lifer for me. You’ll get to me mum tomorrow.
