A great horned owl "One Eyed Pauli" and the brood prepare for night training.
Into the darkest of hours the little ones will learn to use their razor sharpe talons to hop about the arms of the saguaro around the nest, before learning how to use their beaks to kill their first victim.
One Eyed Pauli gives last minute instructions too Little Pauli and Sammy the fledgling next door.
Later in life, Sammy takes the stand against the family and all hell breaks loose.
