Great-horned Owl and Baby

From the U.S. Department of the Interior:

Whooo you looking at? This pic of a great-horned owl with its baby was captured by bird guide and author Richard Crossley about a month ago in Cape May, New Jersey. The area is home to Cape May National Wildlife Refuge, which provides a critical habitat to a wide variety of migratory birds and other wildlife. Owls and other raptors nest early so that their babies are ready to hunt when other young-of-the-year animals are easy prey. Photo courtesy of Richard Crossley (The Crossley ID Guide).
