Kay Partelow and I went birding today, first at McClellan Ranch, and then at 
Stevens Creek.  At the ranch, we spotted a very visible Barn Owl in - you 
guessed it - the barn!  We got excellent views of him.  
The highlight of the day, however, was at the Chestnut Picnic Grounds in 
Stevens Creek Park.  We were standing in the orchard area looking back at the 
bathrooms when Kay pointed out three "huge pine cones" in the leftmost of two 
leaning Monterey (?) Pines on the bank to our left.   She had spotted an adult 
Great Horned Owl sitting on a branch somewhat perpendicular to the trunk of that 
leaning tree, and beside this owl was a fluffy fledgling.  Yet another 
fluffball sat on the branch immediately above these two.   The adult watched us for a 
while and then proceded to preen, while the babies sat still, their 
silhouettes looking like giant pine cones, and their feathers blowing in the 
breeze...what a sight!
