Let’s here it for Moms everywhere. Soon it will be Mother’s Day, and these fine females raise the kids, guard the home, and teach their young how to conquer the world. With Great Horned Owls, our Mom has to put up with crow attacks all day long. During the night she hunts (along with Dad) to bring home the bacon. It’s amazing Mom ever gets any sleep? Sound familiar, you human Moms? Great Horned Owl Moms lead a tough life.
Thus … Mom, the Great Horned Owl (also known as Amy … photographed at sunset last night and sunrise this morning)
Her triplets … the youngsters she keeps safe. (photographed this morning)
Yesterday, this Bald Eagle stretched its wings in salute to Mom! (photographed at my local Wisconsin wetlands yesterday morning)
