Boreal Owl Fledgling

Fledged sometime between 3 pm and 4:15 pm. As of 9 pm she hasn't moved from this perch. I am amazed at how fast they grow. She is very aware, watching all the activity below. Her perch is at the same height as the nesting box, about 10 feet (3 meters) off the ground.

 

The dogs were getting antsy and it didn't look like she was interested in moving, so I let them all loose for a run around and this little owl watched very intently. I'm just amazed by the whole thing.
