I travelled to North Yorkshire for a short break to hopefully see some Little Owls I was certainly not disappointed seeing them most days in different locations and was especially delighted to see this Owlet peeking out from behind a gate

Two owlets from different burrow-nest

Barred Owl Owlets

A wise old owl lived in an oak,

The more he saw, the less he spoke

The less he spoke, the more he heard,

Now, wasn't he a wise old bird?

Great Horned Owlet still hanging around near mom.

Here are two more shots of one of the Owlets. He just left the nest and is climbing to an upper branch to have a look around! Look at the size of his talon in the first shot!

Great Horned Owlet

Our local Great Horned owlets were out on the fence bordering "Walnut Creek Canal", presumably waiting for the results of Mom's evening hunt. Seen in north Walnut Creek, California.

The spotted owlet is a small owl which breeds in tropical Asia from mainland India to Southeast Asia. A common resident of open habitats including farmland and human habitation, it has adapted to living in cities.

Scientific name: Athene brama

Phylum: Chordata

At which point should I stop calling this one an Owlet, its adult plumage is filling in, notice a lot of the chest fluff is now been replaced with the 'barred' feathers.

Eastern Screech-Owlet

You can really get a look at those legs here as he is perched in the nest.

From the archives on my hard drives.........

This Great Horned owlet was seen in north Walnut Creek, California. After 4 or 5 months, it appears to be fully grown in size. It still seems to be learning the ropes of being an owl, and it makes high-pitched squawks that adult owls typically don't make.

So hard to find these fluffy balls when they sit close to the tree trunk, this one did us a favor and was checking us out.

Owlet

Had a feeling of being watched for a while - looking around - couldn't find anyone there - still I was sensing a pair of eyes fixed on me - I looked up and right there - this spotted owlet had me in focus

This little cutie survived after his nest fell to the ground.

Thanks so much for the visit!

This owlet was the size of an adult man's fist, maybe a bit bigger. It was curious to see us taking photographs and stared us crazily. It was just over noon and hot, so we made sure not to disturb the Owlet and hence we moved off quickly. An early morning shot could be more productive I guess.

Thanks in advance for your views / comments. Much appreciated.
