There are a couple of owls that live in some cottonwood trees near a trail in Gunbarrel (near Boulder) and for the past 4 years they have raised their babies there. All the local photographers know about the location now so I had to join in on the fun. I've visited several times and have never been disappointed. Even in daylight they hoot to let you know their presence! The oldest owlet fledged the nest yesterday. I didn't see it but in the afternoon he was still super cautious to be so high up in the tree. After looking at his wings I could see why! While he still has some maturing to do, his siblings are glad to have a bit of extra space. I know there are way too many pictures but here they are.
