A very elusive cute small owl of India. It has a false face pattern on the back of it's head to fool any predator who might attack it.
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 Great-horned Own and her two Owlets at Griffith-woods, #Calgary. Unfortunately one of the twins died a few days later.
After seemingly indulging in a large breakfast (before I arrived) the little owlet decided to soak up the warmth of the sunshine and the barn roof. What a character!
Owlets are out!!!! This always kind of makes me sad because then they seem to vanish into thin air....so do the adults. I'm having a terrible time with the Flickr editor tonight!!!! I just can't seem to get this photo the way I want it!!!! LOL...the other owlet seems much smaller...I'll see if I can't get that one posted!!!!! Large view is best I think. :)
This baby Barred Owlet was photographed in the wild.... non zoo, non baited, non raptor/bird show.

This is a heavily cropped image of one of the Barn owlets that I helped to ring last summer from near to me, this was taken days before they fledged . It was taken with 70-200mm lens from a reasonable distance so as not to frighten it . I used to love watching the parents hunt around my house .
This Great Horned Owlet is sitting in its nest in a huge Eucalyptus tree. When I arrived, it's mom was sitting on top of it, but lucky flew off soon after, leaving me a clear view of the baby.
What an fantastic creature it is! It reminds me a bit of an Ewok.

There were lots of things on the ground at Oolambeyan NP!! First we went hunting for button-quail and although we came up short, we did flush upwards of 100 Stubble Quail. There were also hundreds of mice running around, along with the obligatory abundant Rabbits, Western Grey Kangaroos and Red Kangaroos.
The roads at night were a major wildlife hazard. Although we never actually ran over anything, we only just missed numerous mice, a few kangaroos and the odd rabbit. Luckily, we saw this little fella pretty quickly and were able to stop and creep up to it as it sat on the road. Finally, an Owlet-Nightjar!
My sweetie has been blessed with visits by two barred owlets to the woods behind his suburban house. This set fledged quite a bit later than the other barred owlets I'd learned of and visited this spring; these parents nested on a neighbor's roof in a crevice. I was lucky enough to get some sightings myself, including this clip of one "barrlet" doing what I call the adorable baby bobble while eagerly anticipating its next meal delivery. My camera unfortunately also picked up the ambient shrieks of neighbor children which drowns out the owlet's begging, but it is what it is.
I hadn't been downtown for many years, but two days ago (16 March 2014), I had the chance to meet several friends for a birding walk at Pearce Estate, along the Bow River. After the walk, we carpooled to nearby downtown, hoping to find the Great Horned Owl family that people have been seeing. It was a much longer walk than I was expecting, but we were so lucky to find them, and not where I had been expecting them to be. As is often the case, Mom (?) and the three owlets were high up in different trees, not posing too well for most of the time, and not in good light. This owlet, the oldest owlet of the family, had its back to me, but did eventually turn its head slightly, so I was able to get this shot. The ice in that area was so treacherous, so I moved as little as possible, and extremely cautiously. A real treat to see this little family, though, and so early in the year! Mom must have laid the eggs around 1st January, as the owlets were pretty much adult-sized and either branched or fledged. Most unusual - wonder why this happened. We were half expecting the family to have moved from this particular area, but were so relieved to find that they hadn't.
Thanks so much, Dorothy and Stephen, for giving me a ride to downtown and back to my car! Without it, I would not have had the chance to see these precious little owls. Thanks also for the coffee and a treat afterwards - amazing how much better coffee tastes after walking for a few hours! It really hit the spot : )

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.
Now that the Owlet is developing it's wings and going from branch to branch; there will be unique photo opportunities. It won't last long.
