....when an owlet, unexpectedly swoops down to be a few feet away from a distance branch... to say "hi"? Then just like that... took off again

Not quite full moon with not quite full grown great-horned owlet. It was quite dark so I was not expecting to get much from the shots I took and most were not good but this one captures the moment pretty well and the little owl held still long enough to get a relatively clear shot.
Wetlands fledgling great horned owl 1, the larger and stronger of the 2 nest mates. Second week of flight.
From one of all the trips I´ve had together with a hobby ornithologist, ringing tawny owlets (Strix aluco).

As soon as young Long-eared Owls are old enough to clamber and flap they leave the nest. This is an anti-predator response because if they all stayed in the nest a predator would undoubtedly take the lot, but if they are dispersed they have a chance of surviving. I could see two owlets from this nest about twenty metres apart, one high in a sycamore, and this one in a spruce. There may have been more but I didn't go searching. They didn't look old enough to climb or fly but the wing feathers seem to develop quickly and they can flap a few metres even when they are young and fluffy.
A beautiful recently fledged owlet sitting high in the treetop not too far from its nest, with mama keeping a watchful eye over her baby!
Not the shot I wanted but the one I had a chance to take. Hopefully there will be lots of nice times with these little ones in better lighting

It takes some practice spotting these in the trees from a moving vehicle. Very well camouflaged. I do love the Owl but i like the texture of the tree too. Taken on a recent trip to India.

Note that the image preceding this one represents the parent of this owlet who, by the way, was soon fed the tasty crawfish.
Thanks for visiting and for your faves and comments.
