Default Great Horned Owlet sighting

First sighting of the year for me of a Great Horned Owlet. I don't disclose the location because if a crowd gathers they may abandon the nest, like they did last year near Briarwood. I use a very long lens and do not have to get close to the tree the nest is in.

Ohhh.... so cute. Good idea about not disclosing location in order not to disturb them. Sometimes we love things just too much.
