Photographed in the Sonoran Desert of California near the Salton Sea, these owls fledge their young in the early summer, when daytime high temperatures often exceed 100 deg. F.
(I tracked the band number to the researcher. As a result, I learned a lot more about the biology of these owls. At the researcher's request, I gave him a series of owl photos for his talks, etc.)

The double set of eyes is really trippy and fascinating to look at. It is a very unique wildlife shot in that regard.

Well captured. I certainly had to do a double take.
