Study This Shot Carefully

Dropped the big branch on the right of the image??

 

Geee Jim I can't quite tell.
In the nest, on the branch. Or on that little ledge.

 

Baby in the nest, circling preditor?

 

Looks like someone stole his home, squatters rights? :shock:

 

Sure doesn look like a heron sitting in the middle of the nest looks liek one your owl friends

 

Ah, so those 'horns' sticking up are an owl's who just snacked down the heron's babies (or eggs?)

Ya know what photo-accessory I've wanted for years? A cherry-picker truck.

 

I'm going to do something I rarely do and boast - I spotted the owl quickly.  

Heyyyyyy, I'm allowed to be right once a year and I just used up my entire allotment.

The heron parent certainly looks distraught.

The owl is eating the eggs :lol:

 

Poor thing, life is tough out there in ol' Mother Nature. I'm surprised the heron doesn't have a go at the owl - that beak could skewer in a heartbeat.

 

Hi Jim

There could actually be a second owl that is very oof, but I am not sure. I would back an owl against a heron any day despite the bill on the heron. The owl would be much more manoeverable
