Title: Bird Photos including impossibly cute Great Horned Owlets Post by: Patti from Kentucky on 20-May-10, 01:14:19 AM I spent most of last week at a birding festival in Northern Ohio, on the shore of Lake Erie. I visited the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, which is famous for being a "migrant trap", and bills itself as the "warbler capital" of the world. I would concur, based on the number of warblers I saw! Next door (down the highway a short distance) is the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, where I managed to successfully digiscope a couple of Great Horned Owl fledglings just out of their nest, along with a Bald Eagle. There were two little round bowling balls with feathers; most of the time I could only get one in my scope.
The owl photos are pretty darned cute, and some of the warbler photos are passably interesting. Warning: there are a couple of snake photos near the end of the album, so please be prepared...

Wonderful pictures as usual. The owlets were quite cute. All the other bird shots, deer, snake and muskrat are excellent. Thanks so much for sharing.
