Learning to Fly

Great Horned Owlet. Learning to fly. This magnificent, powerful hunter bird relishes on frogs, insects, mice, rabbits, squirrels, skunks and several other smaller birds. Its hunting time is from dusk and all through the night. In fact, these large predators in the skies also savor house cats and porcupines. They also hunt their own kind. To digest the house cats or porcupines, these owls need to have a great digestive system. Sometimes, they swallow their prey as whole and then regurgitate pellets comprising fur, bones and other parts you do not want to hear about! IMG_8445
