Going back over the older photos, I'm looking at "Threatening Baby" threatening me, and...
it's actually Glaring Baby. See, they're named after this time on July 6 that one threatened me and one glared at me, but actually Glaring Baby is the one who threatened me, and Threatening Baby is the one who glared at me.
Oddly, Glaring Baby also seems to have been the bigger one of the two all along. I was hoping this might be a clue as to sex, but no, there is no sexual dimorphism in great horned owls. Sibley is also not specific as to how far these guys disperse. He does say that great horned owls are monogamous, paired for life, and maintain the same territory from year to year, so hopefully next year I get to do this all over again.
