Uploaded by: ColoradoKat — Friday July 27, 2012 — Littleton, CO (Current Weather Conditions)

I happened to catch movement out of the corner of my eye while I was watching the first owl's drying rituals and saw this one in a tree, going through the same routine. Check out that wingspan..a baby no more!
