    Brazos Bend SP and Owls!

    I have been going out to Brazos Bend SP for several years strictly for photography. There is a vast array of wildlife and birds out there. A lot of water, both lakes and marsh, so a lot of water birds. I'll post a thread soon with some of the variation but this thread is about the annual trek for the baby Great-horned owls. They have been nesting near the check in station for several years now and the same tree the past couple. Some days it's a circus there with all the peeps with cameras and binos. The nest area is a bowl where a number of large branches come out of the main trunk. Last Tuesday morning after the severe storms, my wife and I hurried up from the RV to check on the little ones. They had moved up onto a higher bough of the tree out of the bowl. They were able to settle back down in a little while later. Here are a few of the babies wet and dry and mama.

            Thanks for the photos! I didn't know they were up there, always wondered why there were so many vehicles there.

            We are parking our camper there in two weeks, definitely going to check them out now!

                  They should be getting out on limbs by then, maybe close to fledging. Watch the gators.
