Owls don't build their own nests. This is a "witch's broom" in a Ponderosa Pine. The other nest is built in an old Magpie nest. The owls do come back to the same places year after year, but don't reproduce every year. No owlets last year because of the extended snow into June. |

Another great shot. You must put some miles in to get to all of these spots. |
I live on the park boundary.... on purpose. It's a big help to be in close proximity to the wildlife and the landscape. |

CommonGrackleby eqsiteComment: Accurate colors. Look at that eye, which is also accurate. We see these in CO only during migration. |

Red-belliedWoodpeckerby eqsiteComment: It's a beauty. I agree this is a Red-bellied WP, Melanerpes carolinas. Not the "Northern" subspecies. Looks to be "South Florida". Can't see enough to tell male or female. Great job. |
