The cute screech owlet was back this morning. It was sitting on a branch at eye level like a present on a silver platter.
Just about ready to fledge, this owlet stands in the cavity of the tree it was raised in.
Its Mother is across the way, in a tree, calling "it is time to leave the nest".
Meet Bowser. A recently fledged Eastern Screech Owlet from the owl box I made a few years ago. The name suggestion helped come from my girlfriend's kindergarten class...right around the time of the Mario movie's release. It does fit the personality: Bowser has some attitude to him.
This guy is giving the closest thing to a cocking of the head that I have gotten from a Great Horned Owl. Short-eared Owls are much more likely to cock their heads in reaction to a camera's clicking.
A great horned owl has nested in downtown Penticton in Gyro Park across from the courthouse. There is a lot of traffic in this location including many that stop to look and take pictures. The city has installed pylons as the droppings from the nest are making a mess on the brand new sidewalk.
I get to watch the people from our condo.
One of my favorite GHO nestings. The youngest owlet is not the last one to branch out. The middle one is still hesitate to branch.

For 8 years I have been coming up and down the hill to photograph this species. Few times I manage to hear it calling under the trees canopy but never get a single shot for a good photo. That day must be my lucky day as the owl resting on open branch for me finally got a shot I always wanted and ticked my lifer.
Last lifer for me at the end of 2023. 530 lifers now. Looking for more in 2024.
Growing up is hard work! This barred owlet half snoozed while waiting for its next meal delivery. My sweetie let me use his 600mm lens plus teleconverter for a closeup!
Family of robustly built moths. Most have drab forewings, although some have brightly coloured hindwings like this one, Differences between the sexes are usually few.
Great Horned Owlet at Brazos Bend State Park in SE Texas. A second owlet is peeking between the front bird and the tree. I took a lot of pictures over two visits, but failed to get the nice shot of the two birds side by side with their eyes open. Regardless, it was a real treat to see and photograph these birds. 3/2019
Jumping to conclusion before even listening to the other persons explanation is something very common these days. I know a picture can covey a thousand words but those thousand words can be interpreted or communicated by the eye witness.
Looking at this picture, first thing that comes to mind is the bird is stressed. Second is the photographer must have been very close or would have done something for eye contact. Actually those are all interpretation.
Actual story is this bird was attached by another small black drongo and was furious, I captured this image in order to covey this unique display of emotion.
Those who have not seen an owl in the wild, did you know that an owl can turn its head 270 degrees. Amazing beauty of nature they are.

If numbered 1, 2, 3 from left to right, 2 decided to go visit 1 and that’s how the first two photos happened. Of course I was watching the parents when 2 did go to 1, but I was happy to see some wing action at least.
I'm almost wondering if there's been more than one owl nest around Council Groves. It's a very big area there and also there is a large island where I know the eagles, ospreys and other larger birds have been....I think to get away from people. This owl here I'm guessing is on it's own. Large view is definitely best!!!! :)
