2018 Golden Gate Park - Owls

For several years my friends and I followed a family of great-horned owls which nested on an island in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. That family was back yet again in 2018, but it's become dangerous to go to that part of the park when owls are active (early morning and around dusk). Fortunately, another owl family has been nesting in a safer, but less scenic, area of the park for at least 7 years. Unlike on the island, here it's difficult to follow the owlets once they fledge, so the photos and video in this gallery cover just a few early morning and evening visits to the nest.
