Typical Long-eared Owl

Each year, I take this photo. It’s usually of the male Long-eared Owl (looking grumpy!), and it’s usually in mid-May. For some reason, just before the young start branching, the male from one of the pairs I watch sits on this log pile. When the young begin flying around but are still being fed, they’re often fed here — presumably because there’s enough room for both the adult and the fully grown youngsters. Can't wait till next spring!
