A great horned owl in Texas recently welcomed a couple of adorable owlets live on a nest cam. Cornell Lab Bird Cams shared footage of the owl (Athena) feeding her one-day-old baby. It’s something you normally wouldn’t get to see so close.

“The Great Horned Owl Cam just got a whole lot cuter this week thanks to two new arrivals,” wrote Cornell Lab Bird Cams. “Athena, the female owl, stood watch over the nest as her first egg hatched a down-covered owlet on April 8 after 34 days of incubation. The second owlet arrived two days later, on April 10. Over the next six weeks, viewers will get an intimate look at the nestling period of one of the sky’s most formidable predators.”
