This years Owlet continues to grow at an amazing rate. I expect the little bugger to fledge from the nest very soon. For those who wonder, I was not as close as this picture makes it appear. This was taken with a 500mm lens and then heavily cropped. At this point I am approximately 30-40 yards away from the nest. If you do go to see the Owlet in person, please be sure to follow the rules. Do NOT exit your vehicle! Do NOT stop in the marked protected zone! Turn down your music, speak softly. Drive slowly past the nest. We want Momma and Papa Owl to understand this is a safe place to have their nest and continue to return here year after year to raise their young.

Some picture of the owlets which lickly left the nest hole either Friday evening or early Saturday morning.One stayed on the inner branches while the other was on an outer limb appeared and disappeared as the wind blew the leaves.
A family of three owlets have been raised in a local cemetery. They have been great to watch and have grown well. They are flying more each evening so will soon no longer be reliant on Mum for food.
These two must be having issues. All they did was fight the entire time we were there!! The one on the right almost made Sam and I think something was wrong with it's wing....maybe from fighting. I sure hope they're okay...I worry about them!!! lol :)

Eventually the two fledgling owlets leaning against each other for a nap separated slightly. One of them moved along the branch and couldn't easily be viewed behind the pine needles. The other one got very curious about the human things standing on the ground far below it. These owls don't move their eyeballs around, so to focus on a subject, they move their whole head around and around, and side to side. Very charming to see!

Guess I need to make him one now!

My first owlets of the season. If you saw the video I posted a few days ago where the little one runs up from the burrow, I didn't even know there WERE babies when that little sweetheart came into view. And then there were two. Actually, in the end, I counted 5 little owlets at that burrow that glorious morning. I so love this stuff.

Burrowing owlets were abundant today in the fields surrounding Ontario International Airport. This owl's burrow was quite a distance from the road, so this is about the best I could do from the car. I don't try to get close to them for two reasons...this is airport property; and I don't need to disturb the owls' environment for a photograph. That's what a BIG lens is for (wish I had one..LOL!)

It has been 3 weeks since I could check on the local burrowing owl population, so in spite of drizzle and having to go to an old backup 7D (cameras went in for routine clean and check), I was delighted to see how the little ones have grown! They're starting to fly a little and move around a lot, so probably not too many more cutsie "groupie" shots this season. (Well, I took enough today to last at least through the summer.)
Burrowing Owl young practice all of the skills they will need to survive as an adult. This Owlet is attacking an old corn cob that was laying near the burrow.

The spotted owlet (Athene brama) is a small owl which breeds in tropical Asia from mainland India 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 or buildings. It nests in a hole in a tree or building, laying 3–5 eggs. They are often found near human habitation. The species shows great variation including clinal variation in size and forms a superspecies with the very similar little owl.
