Ottawa’s great horned owl chicks learning to fly. Their mother, sitting just behind them, must be proud to have brought up such fine looking owlets.
I'm having a hard time finding my pics of these owlets from further back...I have shots of three of them plainly seen...I'll keep looking. I've been trying to edit this one to lighten up the scene so it's lighter in the owl's hole...very tricky and not successful!!! LOL They're about 60-70 feet up in this tree which doesn't help either!! 😄
It's been pouring rain here since last night...yuck!!! It'll be good though for the air to clear some and fires hopefully will start clearing up. I think Sam said we have 9 of them here in Montana! Have a nice weekend everyone!!
This is the owlet I photographed five days ago (in the milk crate nest) at Honeymoon Island, Dunedin, FL

This house isn't finished being built, but these guys/gals think it's just perfect for them to move in.
Quite a commotion we walked into as these young owls were being harassed by a group of vocal blue jays. The three owlets were flying from tree to tree and then two onto this branch which allowed a couple of quick shots through the leaves.
Thank you for viewing.
In the world of birds, the making of little birds is sometimes a combined and equal effort on the part of the mother and father bird. For some species of birds the task can fall predominantly or completely to the mother, and in rare instances that same task may fall on the fathering bird. In the world of Screech Owls the task is shared but the gender roles are different. The mother owl, shown in this picture peers out of her nest in an old dead palm tree. She will tend to the nest and nestlings until they have hatched and adequately brooded. She depends completely, however, on her male counterpart for food for her and the owlets. Their survival depends upon his hunting skills. So in the world of the Eastern Screech owl, baking owlets has a recipe all its own. #EasternScreechOwls
I went out to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center on lunch yesterday to spot the great horned owlets. They were there in a planter way up on a wall near the entry. Tough spot for photos, though it's semi-secluded - still amazing that they nest in an area with so many people milling around. The mom has returned for five years to the same spot. The owlets were big enough that the parents were off somewhere being invisible.
Circling a group of owlets (some we believe were unrelated) the male GHO remained close at about 40 yards assuring their good health.
One note for all you detailed photogs out there is that this photo was rotated 90 degrees to the right.
This Great Horned Owlet was seen in north Walnut Creek, California.
Map location is approximate within 1 mile.
Ginger Male Burrowing Owl was a great Dad. I watched him catch large bugs and feed his Owlets several times each as the sun was rising. He would swoop down, catch a bug, make a call and the owlets would all run toward him (usually right in front of me). This was the lucky one this time. Look at the difference of his colouring and the Owlet. There were many dirt spots that his mate used close by, but he always chose to have his dust baths in the terra cotta earth.
Great Horned Owlet taken in Lancaster County about two weeks ago. I would guess that these young owls will soon be leaving the nest.

With their fierce little faces, these sweet baby owlets stared at me as I stood a respectful distance away thanks to the Sigma 150-500 F4/5.6

This is the owlet I photographed five days ago (in the milk crate nest) at Honeymoon Island, Dunedin, FL. I believe when you have a great wildlife subject, you should post three best images. The owl was pretty active at about 9 AM so it made a good photographic subject. I think it was impatiently waiting for the parents to come back with some food but they didn't during my time at the site. Finally, the young owl went back to a deep slumber. For the most part, I generally see barred owls but lately I've seen an eastern screech owl, burrowing owls and an adult and immature great horned owl. Having the opportunity to see these great creatures in the wild is beyond words. The experience is awesome.

What an experience, getting to follow the mating pair and watch the owlets mature and leave the nest. One of the most heart warming experiences I've ever had!!!
This great horned owlet was quite low to the ground. I'm not sure if they were trying a hunt or just exploring, but either way it made for some close photos.
Today's find... this little Barred Owlet caught me by surprise. I was looking at it's Mom and this guy moved and I saw it in my peripheral.
