Another shot from my photography day at Liberty's Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre in the New Forest. This little one will look very different by now. Super cute at this age though. :)
I am sure by today these adorable owlets should be branching and getting ready to be more independent. I don't like posting nest photos immediately even though this has been a well known photographed and reported site, this is from three weeks ago. Unfortunately for birds of major interest, ridiculous amounts of people show up to photograph nests without consideration for how it affects the birds and just for the photo ops. At least these GHOs were far enough off the trail and above, but still...

My favourite Owlet encounter to date will take some beating :-)
Another very slightly different shot to the previous images.
I am sad because these owlets habitat and nest have been felled by forest fires...I do know they all have fledged but not sure if they all made it away from the fires...
This is from early one morning back in March. There was little light (as seems to be a common situation for me). Another guy and I were focused on this bird when the mouth opened. Neither of us regretted getting up early. Both owlets have since fledged. Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas - 3/2021.

One of two bold barred owlets from another nest box. The parents have now left them on their own during the day and evening only to return during the night. Hunting on their own is funny to watch as they pounce on almost anything that moves!
Great horned owl, Chatham, Ontario, April 24, 2019.
There are two but one was hidden.
Bubo virginianus
When clenched, a Great Horned Owl’s strong talons require a force of 28 pounds to open. The owls use this deadly grip to sever the spine of large prey.

Brian Piccolo Park, Fort Lauderdale, FL
The park is not too far from the hospital I am working in and decided to catch up with my little feathered friends. The Owlets are getting bigger and well fed. Dad is having a sleep after hunting most of the night.
The so-called "milk crate owlet" has fledged and is perching on various trees near the "nest". A parent is generally nearby. The young owl seems to be doing great. This photo shows it in an unusual prone position resting on the branch but I've seen it do this before. It is thought to be 5 - 6 weeks old. Photographed on Honeymoon Island, Dunedin, FL.

This owlet fell and has been out of the nest for almost a week and has not left this tree, sitting about 20 feet off the ground.
Aegotheles cristatus
A rare treat to see in tree hollows, and even rarer out in the open, we were extremely fortunate to stumble across this bird doing its best to blend in with the tree. Quite possibly the best camouflaged bird I have ever seen!
Spotted owlet
A small uncrested owl with a round head and a short tail. It is grayish-brown overall with white spots above while its underparts are white with brown bars. Note the distinctive white eyebrows and neck-band. Often active at dawn and dusk when it utters a loud “chirurr-chirurr-chirurr” laugh in addition to a variety of high-pitched squeals and whistles. Inhabits all kinds of open habitats but avoids dense forest and wetter regions.

I arrived at Grand River North Ravines this morning at about 6:45 AM to take my Sunday morning walk. I got my camera gear ready and doused myself with a good dose of bug spray and off I went to walk in the park. I headed down towards the river and as i was walking I saw this bird fly from my right side and move behind me. I thought to myself that was a little bigger bird than normal so I thought I would take a look. I turned around and there this little guy, just sitting in this tree watching me. It still was a little dark so I pumped up the ISO and started shooting. After a couple minute he was bored with me and took off through the trees and I never saw him again.
Can anyone identify this owl - Eastern Screech Owl???
Jungle owlet - Glaucidium radiatum, photographed on a walk through the outskirts of Chitwan national park, Nepal.
These two Great Horned Owlets were fascinated with a Doe and two of her adorable Fawns walking through the Eucalyptus grove.
Look what I found Brody!! Ha... it was practically staring me in the face as I was locking my door I happened to glance in the right direction and .. Ta Da! I took several shots and then I went looking for him later in the day and it was gone. Never did find it again. He munched about half this plant down before going on his way. :)
An Owl's daily activity begins with preening, stretching, yawning and combing its head with its claws. The plumage is often ruffled up, and claws and toes are cleaned by nibbling with the beak. The Owl will then leave its roost, sometimes giving a call (especially in breeding season).
Owls have a very expressive body language. Many species will bob and weave their head, as if curious about something - this is in fact to further improve their three-dimensional concept of what they are viewing.
