I don't think I shared this image here on UHH
Last fall we noticed a nest off the edge of a trail we walk by the edge of woodlands to wetlands. We kept an eye on the nest hoping to see who or what reused in in the 2023 nesting season. Come May 2023 that watching paid off when we spotted a mature Great Horned Owl near the nest followed by spotting the youngster in the nest tree.
Owl fledgling grow restless and to large for the nest but still need lots of help from the parents. After they start wandering from the nest Mom and Dad keep returning with dinner. The fledglings will fly/hop to nearby trees but normally not straying far from the nest tree. Over the next couple weeks we revisited and were able to photograph the fledglings rapid growth.
This was from the last day we visited the nest. ( the adult was never far away but I was never to grab a worthwhile image of it.)
