I kept hearing owls while camping in Denali National Park, but I couldn't see any. Finally, on the last full day there, a bunch of people with notebooks followed a ranger through my campsite. Of course, I demanded to know what was going on. The ranger swore me to secrecy, and showed me the one spot where you could look up into the nest. This picture is the result. And, yes, I obscured the location.
