Whoo's In Plain View

Ah, the North Side of the American River near Sutter's Landing.  Never, ever does it fail to show it's wonders!  I had been to the river's edge and was heading back when I saw from a distance a very familiar figure.  It literally blended into the tree trunk and if I did not know what to look for, I would have missed it.  It was one of this year's Owlets.  I could not tell which one but that no longer matters.  They are all about full size at six months of age.  I will never tire of seeing these Great Horned Owls.  There was a bicyclist riding behind and away from me.  It seems this Owl was keeping it's Golden eyes on him.  I am still a friend!
