I had introduced Anna and Alex individually, now it is the turn for Christine. Christine was the girl that spent a lot of time in the "gang of three" with Charles and Alex. Like most of the child in the middle, she did not take a lot of responsibility, like Anna looking after Sunny, in this family. The following picture was the portrait from her.

Great views of the owlets recently - all three are doing well, here are two of them perched together last night
Cambridgeshire woodland
A recently fledged Barred Owlet perched low in the darkness of the tree canopy
Thank you for viewing
Not yet able to fly, this great horned owlet is old enough to climb out of the nest and venture up into neighboring trees. The parents keep a watchful distance during this vulnerable stage of boundary-pushing. Soon, the first attempts at flying will begin. Photographed in British Columbia, April 2021.
We were fortunate to have found a Great Horned Owl family at the campground we were at last weekend!!
The second Barred Owlet had left the confines of the nest cavity only to fall to the forest floor a few minutes later. It looked very dejected after heavy rain the night before.
The Pearl-Spotted Owlet (Glaucidium Perlatum) is one of the most common owls in the savanna woodland area of southern Africa. It is crepuscular, often active in the early morning and late afternoon to avoid competing with other species. This owlet has "mock-eyes" at the back of it's head, which confuses the predator as to which way the owl is facing. Photo captured by my husband, Richard Strahl, in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve, Botswana, last year - with my post-processing.
The spotted owlet (Athene brama) is a small owl which breeds in tropical Asia from North Pakistan to Southeast Asia. A common resident of open habitats including farmland and human habitation, it has adapted to living in cities.
They roost in small groups in the hollows of trees or in cavities in rocks and buildings. It nests in a hole in a tree or building, laying 3–5 eggs. The species shows great variation including clinal variation in size and forms a superspecies with the very similar little owl.
Caught a bit later in the season this great grey owlet still has a lot of its down and juvi feathers but is fully fledged and quite capable of flight.
Young Owlets fledge by 6-9 weeks old, becoming independent at the age of 5-10 weeks. Sexual maturity is achieved at 1-3 years old.
jungle owlet or barred jungle owlet is native to the Indian Subcontinent. The species is often found singly, in pairs or small groups, and they are usually detected by their calls at dawn and dusk.
Have been absent from Flickr for almost a year due to varies of reasons...
Anyway I thought i would come back with some of the images I took recently during an incredible session with a family of Great Gray Owls.
I was a little late in regards to the babies since they have already fledged but were still hanging around nearby waiting to be fed by the parents.
You will notice most of the images I will post including this one have burnt trees and branches in them. That tells how serious the wildfire situations have been in Canada for the last recent years.
Amazingly these areas still provide abandoned food source - mainly voles for the parents to hunt...even myself was almost tripped by a few of the voles, lol.
