SHARK VALLEY (3/2011)

On a visit to Everglades National Park, I was unbelievably lucky enough to see this Great Horned Owl with her baby!  Not something you see every day in a tree that isn't well hidden; this tree was out in the open.  She seemed annoyed by everyone looking at her, but never left her baby's side.
