Lapinpöllö
Great Grey Owl ( Strix nebulosa ) youngster about 4 weeks 22.6.2011, Tervola, Finland.
Two days windy rain had turned even my hairdo up !
This year has been good for owls here. Though I knew only 5 nests of Great Grey Owls. In most nest were 4 or 5 youngsters which is best in many many years. Lots of nest has to be unknown to me...I suppose.
Two days wind & rain hasn`t been nice even to owls. Almost all owlets that I checked today were on the ground as they usually use to be high in the trees. They are still unable to fly and at this age quite near nests.
Bird in the pic is in it`s natural "hiding" position acting seamless...
