The great horned owl and owlet are too cute!

The UF/IFAS Extension St. Lucie County is located in a rural area of the county.  We are fortunate to have green spaces with native plants and wildlife in the surrounding area.  Several weeks ago, we noticed a great horned owl and owlet took residence in a dead palm tree in the area.  Of course, we took plenty of photos and videos to share. My colleague at UF/IFAS, Dr. Katherine Clements, wrote an outstanding blog about great horned owls.  I recommend checking it out HERE after viewing this blog.
