Great-horned Owlets - Day 20

Although the owlets are now old enough that their mother leaves them to hunt for food when the weather is nice, in this photo, the mother Great-horned owl is blocking her two owlets from strong winds as a nasty snowstorm pushes in from the west.

My best estimate as to when the owlets were born is March 14-17, meaning that in this photo taken April 6th, the owlets would be approximately 20-23 days old.
