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.)
Going off when this shot was taken, I think its the eldest of the 3 Owlets I followed over the summer and is around 6/7 weeks old.

Great Horned Owls are covered in extremely soft feathers that insulate them against the cold winter weather and help them fly very quietly in pursuit of prey. Their short, wide wings allow them to maneuver among the trees of the forest.
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.
I was lucky enough to come across this great horned owlet, who was not only sitting on a log just off the ground, but who was in an area that allowed for an unobstructed shot, while he sat in the late afternoon sunshine.

While upgrading hard drives I found several folders each with a few thousand images I never went through so trying to get a few up.

This fellow peaked out from the foliage around his nest with his wise, old-man eyes! Around here, this brood is fairly late, as many owlets have branched or fledged already.
This has to be one of my favorites of my owlet images!!! I zoomed all the way up to get this view and wasn't let down! LOLOL 😂 I'm still trying to figure out what it might have seen to get a reaction like this!!!! LOL
