We went spotlighting and came across this road-side Owlet Nightjar. By far the best view I've ever had of this lovely bird, though we did come across my first daylight one outside a hollow a couple of days later (adjacent pic).
“Collared Owlet" found in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. It is the smallest owl in Asia, at 15 cm (5.9 in) and 60 g (2.1 oz).
Location: Sattal - Uttarakhand, India
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.
This little owlet nightjar is a popular subject for birding people walking along the Wynnum Mangrove Boardwalk, in Brisbane, Australia.

The owls always land on this branch first, poop and stretch before heading for a lower branch for their hunting lesson with mother, this is usually an hour before sunset. Youngest (most beautiful) in the middle; she has more spots than her other two sisters, less wary, and brainy enough to head back to nest for food first!. Two of the young are quite inquisitive. These owls are true birds of habbit.
All five where said to be on the tree this afternoon. People pass by all-day and night so they are use to people and the noise from local activity dosn't seem to affect them.
Barred owlet.. Wonderfully camouflaged with woods..
Would have lessen my ISO and f-value .. never mind next time :-)
The young owlet has a stick in his nostril, otherwise, he seems quite comfortable in his nest cavity.

Baby Barred Owl (Strix varia)
This little dude was one of two owlets born to a pair of Barred Owls at Lincoln Park. Apparently the babies kept falling from the nest. The first time they fell, so I hear, one was killed and this one was put back up in the nest by nice people with tree-climbing gear. A few days later, he fell out again, so the parks department came in and put up this platform and put him on it. So far (in the past couple of weeks) he hasn't fallen again and the parents are bringing him food on the platform. I was worried about him yesterday when we had a big thunderstorm with loads of hail and rain and wind. But, there he is...looking good.
Great Horned Owlet (Bubo virginianus) - For De Soto, Florida
A little great horned owlet on a nest in Fort De Soto. It was a wonderful way to see this species for the first time. You can see those 'horns' starting to take form on this wee puffy young one.
Thanks for visiting!
This owlet made its first flight right toward our group. He crash landed in a small creek right beside us and posed for a few shots while he recovered from his hard landing.
Unattended eggs and nestlings may fall prey to foxes, coyotes, raccoons, lynx, raptors, crows, and ravens. Both members of a pair may stay within the territory outside of the breeding season, but they roost separately.

From the two largest species of African owl to one of the smallest, the Pearl-spotted Owlet, which stands no more than 20cm tall.
Spent 10 weeks watching the parent owls and finally caught site of the young owlet. Only one chick seen so far and it is now flying around and nagging mum and dad :)
There seem to be so many Great Gray Owls at the moment - I've seen more than I've ever seen. On our recent May Species Count we were lucky enough to see three adults. Yesterday, with permission, I was treated to this sight! And three other owlets! This was one of the owlets we came across, perched lower than the remaining siblings. It sat tall, with a rather amusing expression on its face. It comes as such a shock when you first discover an owlet (of any kind) and find yourself looking into a face like this - they are so incredibly beautiful and fluffy. The light, deep within the trees, was not good (at least, for a point-and shoot camera), but I tried, needless to say : ) Just haven't had time to look properly through yesterday's photos, so quickly grabbed one to post today.
Later: can you believe I actually got to hold either this owlet or one of its siblings this evening (June 5th)?
