Once again, lucky for me that I'm familiar with my habitat, because these didn't look like owls to the naked eye, but then I was thinking "you know, this tree doesn't usually have fuzzy growths on it." So I stopped and had a look.
They're fledgling great horned owls. Seriously. I'd never seen a fledgling owl before. I'd never seen two owls at once before, either. I'm not sure if the photos are quite in focus. The branch in front of them looks very sharp, suggesting the focus was a little shorter than it should have been, but then, when things are this fuzzy, it's hard to tell.
Unless I see them again, I don't imagine I'll have a cooler bird sighting than this for the rest of the summer.
