The youngest owlet

The youngest owlet
Having to dig into my archives yet again, this time from 23rd June : ) This is the youngest of two Great Horned Owlets from Fish Creek Park that we all enjoyed tremendously last year. This is the one that fell out of their nesting tree (I was told that a photographer with a huge lens had got too close presumably in order to get a full-frame shot - something that annoys me intensely - the owl lost its balance and fell to the ground!!!) Must have been on the ground for 8-10 days, with both adults keeping close watch. S/he was a little bit older when I took this photo. Mom and the sibling were in a tree with this little one. Mom flew off into the trees across the path, leaving both owlets and eventually the older owlet joined her. This youngest one stayed and proceded to move around a little and then take a quick nap. It ended up on this low, sloping tree trunk, not bothered at all by our presence (just two of us). The cutest thing imaginable : )
