I was fortunate to get a picture of the horned owl at Reifle. I also tried
to photograph the owlets, but there were so many branches in the way that
the photo is useless. In any event if you did not see this remarkable
creature your can view the image at:

This is certainly not a publication quality photo such as those shown by
others on this list. The owl was horribly back lit, a brisk wind blew
through the trees causing constant subject motion and it was barely in range
of my fill-flash. Still this photo has the endearing quality of being the
only non-captive horned owl I have seen much less photographed.
